well if you don't already have an a4 then don't waste your time and money. If you are shopping for a car then get an m6 without a doubt

I sold my m6 swap for $1000, but that's cheap. I would say most would be around $2000 and $1500 for the labor.

I'm gonna go ahead and say stick with a 6spd. I think you will get bored with an a4 pretty quickly.

I would stick with an A4 i think they r much better than 6spd unless your racing on the freeway. Stalled A4 is the way to go had many problems with 6spd braking axles at the track shift fork (popping out of 3rd) my Stalled A4 much better and i am selling my TCI 4L60E Competition Torque Converter, 4400 Stall Speed, 2.78:1 STR if any body is looking for as stall $450.00 shipped

A4's are boring. If they made the charger in standard I would have a standard no doubt. M6 FTMFW!!

M6 all the way, better mileage tighter gears and more fun. Go watch a stock m6 car race a stock a4 car and then tell me the a4 is better. From the punch there is no competition, just learn how to drive and launching is no problem.

how do you launch it is kinda hard for me.I have m6 ws6 and I have considered going to the track. And people are telling me that a Stalled A4(ws6) would smoke me is this true??? How would i go about launching from the start to get good times and possibly taking my friend. Any information or websites and experiences welcome. As you can tell i am just alittle green at launching...thanks
