camaro a4 what i have, what i voted for. any one who thinks m6 are so superior, drive an a4 with a stall, it will change your whole outlook on auto's. at least it did for me.

all my previous cars were five speed manuals, so i know about driving stick shifts, i had my heart set on a six speed ls1, but i am not dissapointed with the auto. i get tired of shifting all the time so the auto is working out great, and i dont have to worry about spending $2300 for a new rearend.

T/A m6 is the best, seats, appearance, radio, internal appearance, and the only time the a4 will be a m6 in a equal car is if the retard in the m6 cant drive a stick. or if you are going sub 8's and that would be a A3, not a A4

Yeah, but what about $2000 for a new tranny?

i know a good transmission man who gives me good deals on tranny rebuilds, i dont have any connections with shops that specialize in rearends. so i would rather be replacing transmissions than rearends.
that and the fact that most aftermarket clutches need replaced every year or two. the t56 is a great choice, but it likes to break other parts.
my ss is the first auto car that ive had, so ill see how it goes. hopefully the trans cooler will keep the tranny from going out for awhile.

TA WS6 with a 6 speed....with the SS coming in very close to that...

i'd prefer an auto, but 6 speed is more fun

PONTIAC ..................HANDS DOWN...
Your probably saying to yourself..."oh he has a Firehawk..he's biased" Well hello that's why I chose it instead of a Camaro..On the real though I love all F-bodies. I love the waythe Camaro looks..but the Trans am is just plain MEAN.... A little after sunset, turn on the fog lamps/parking lights on a trans am/firebird...AHHHH...theres is nothing like it...MEAN I say..MEAN
....oh yeah and of course 6-speed...So Cheers to the F-bodies ...because they are both SICK IN EVERYWAY....

Make that eight ... I'm really a manual shift guy at heart, but I have an unusual reason for preferring the A4 in the f-body ... I have to sit too close to the dash to depress the clutch comfortably on the M6. I've come close to buying an M6; but the awkward seating position makes it A4 for me.

I love my A4 Camaro and voted for it..... but I've never driven an M6 but if I would have found and purchased an M6 Camaro, thats prolly what my vote would have went for.
