CMS built M6. love it, its a beast. last car was a built Auto with a stall, behind a 358 SBC in a monte SS. I loved that as well. I think i like them both just the same with M6 a little bit ahead due to the fact that i like to race with turns. A drag car however...cant beat the stalled auto.

Only if I was down for some road course action, stalled A4 for drag racing FTMFW, only problem is with M6 you can feel when its grabbing better than with a stalled auto, nothing a little in the car time wouldn't fix. I got a monster good time with my stalled A4 I love it, I would only get an M6 for a daily driver that I do canyon carving with.

I hope not, na for me I like a challenge, getting better at driving makes me feel like I accomplished something. Auto is cool to but I like the fact that I become an even bigger factor in the experience. Thats one reason why I like riding so much, no matter how much money you put into your bike when you go to the track only your skill will show.

I like both but to say that one takes more skill than the other is incorrect both have their quirks both are better at one thing or another for their own reasons. M6 is better for road course, A4 is better for straight line.
I want an M6 for a daily driver/canyon carver, but for drag racing A4 or A3. Most pro drag racers use an automatic tell them their aren't a skilled driver and see how that goes hahaha.
And this is not personal attack just stating that it is a preference thing and that to say that you are a better driver for driving an M6 well that is an opinion and is not fact and either way you are the biggest factor in driving.. there are cars with more power than me running worse times and that is simply because of the driver.
Sorry I do not mean for this to be an attack, just friendly discussion.

Even now, after years of driving my T56, it's still a challenge and im still improving ever so slowly. With the auto, the launches, strong points and the whole nine yards was figured out in about 20 minutes time.
Maybe what you meant to say was "They each have their purpose" rather than "they each require the same amount of skill" because they damn sure dont.

I have had both and you are so dead wrong. Even at 600rwhp the auto was boring as **** and presented no challenge.

I will say to each his or her own, you can think that all you want you might be a couple years older than me and think that I am some dumb young kid... You could think that but hey whatever. It's like how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

Your example is retarded.
How about these instead: (these tests dont insult anybody and will therefore not produce skewed results as your test wouldve)
Go to your local track, find two cars running near the same times. Have the auto guy drive the stick car and the stick guy drive the auto car. I predict 9 out of 10 times the stick guy will be able to drive the auto guy's car better than vice versa.
Look at all of the cars on here with similar power. Then tell me what trans is putting out the better times with the same power on average. The fact that the auto cars et better 9 times out of 10 with the same power show right that that the auto is alot is easier for the average person to drive. How can u argue with that? If they were as difficult as an M6, there would be just as many shitty auto ets, but there's not. How do you explain that? The people who chose the stick just happened to suck at driving? Or the one's who chose autos are just better drivers? Thats bs.
I have had BOTH. With multiple tranny's, auto's and sticks, converters and clutches. You have only had ONE. How in the **** are you going to know better than I?

I agree, IDK how you could even argue that. Autos make more consistent and faster times, easier and this isn't a new theory, its been proven MANY times.

I am not looking to get into a pissing match here this is the second time you have tried to argue with me so for the sake of not caring that much. You are right, you are now the coolest kid on the sped bus.

This works AGAINST your argument! It just shows that anyone can hop in an auto car, with no experience, even 15 yo's and run the same time. That would never happen with an M6 car.but anyway, I never said it didnt take SOME amount of skill. Even when that very small amount that is required leaves room for you to beat someone's time.
dont get all butthurt, you posted your opinion and I posted mine, whats your problem? If I disagree with you i'm trying to argue huh?

Currently have an M6. Will be swapping to performabuilt lvl2 with ss4000 soon hopefully. M6 was cool, but its become a pain. And I never get on it around corners, only ever in a straight line.
To each their own, but after the first time I drove a stalled auto, I started looking for someone to trade with.

I definitely agree that M6 is a lot harder. When my car was stock, I thought I was a good M6 driver, and then I drove an 07 Z06. Yea you better be good if youre dring 500hp with a manual. I also drove a CTS-V with 500HP auto and it was a piece of cake. You cant just step on the gas like an auto. You need to be used to a HEAVY clutch and rowing the gears.
