He would deff get the jump on you obviously because he would already be in his powerband. It would come down to how good of a driver the other guy is.

I would agree. I have seen very few A4's that are strong running cars from the factory compared to the M6's. In fact most of the A4's I have seen that were stock were complete turds compared to the M6's. The only chance I think you have is if you raced him from a stop. Thats where the Auto's make all their gain on the M6's. From a roll I doubt you'd win.

I agree with the above from a roll you are definately going to lose, a dig is your only chance and then you have to pray he can't drive.

my advice is to save your gas...wait til u get a stall and then you would both be in the power band, but if he can drive he probably still take it...from a dig with a stall itd be close

automatic vs a 6 speed will always loose from a roll cause we are in out power band if you went from a dead stop you might get him off the line but he will come back but then again it all depends on the driver mod
