goodbye, formy... so after numerous problems and due to lots of miles i have decided to trade my formula in on an ls1 car. i have one dilemma though. it is hard as hell to find an m6 around my way, so looks like im gettin an a4. i doubt i will, but does anyone think i will miss my formula whatsoever? i kinda reluctant towards the auto but from what ive ridden in and seen/read, its lookin like ill be plenty happy

so in short, everyone agrees that (somewhat stock) m6 lt1 pales in comparison to any ls1 (also stock). cool. i love my lt1, but its got so many miles, its either trade or end up with the task of rebuilding my daily driver. so...

And 100 times easier to work on! the LS1 is lightyears ahead of the Lt1

Same here, went from a 94 T/A to a 99 T/A both autos with 2.73's. I loved my LT1, but not as much as my LS1...smoother ride, no creaking or craking noises, a lot quicker and about 70k less miles.

Don't be afraid to travel a bit to get the right car. Nothing sucks worse than settling on something that you don't really want (A4) and making payments on it.

youre gonna miss one thing though. the from the dig seat of the pants torque of the LT1. youll miss your LT1 until 35 mph...and then your face will light up from ear to ear.

Besides, people say the auto is faster, but it's not - it's quicker. They don't trap near as high as the manuals do, so when you run into a six speed on the highway he'll pull you around.

Like everyone else is saying don't settle for an auto if you really want a M6. I sold my 96 Z28 M6 and bought a 98T/A M6. I also had to drive 500 miles one way with a buddy to go pick it up in Green Bay. It was well worth the trip plus I got the whole ride home for a test drive to see if anything was wrong. I don't regret selling the LT1 for the LS1

Well, I did what everyone's saying not do ... I wanted an M6 but settled for the A4 because it was here in town, price was good, it wasn't modded, it was in excellent condition, good color, and it had everything else I wanted. Do I regret it? Sort of. But I'm having fun with the TC I had installed and other things. It seems like M6's are harder to find and often are beat on when you do find them.
