v6 camaro m5 in a4 z28?

I was just wondering if anyone has ever put a v6 m5 in an A4 z28? Im thinking about doing this, and dont know if it would work or not.

Why do u want to go with a m5 in a Z??? Why not sell that and just get an m6? I honestly dont think that can handle the power of the Z. You try to put the power to the ground off a launch and you will be leaving your tranny at the line

The T5 is so weak GM wouldn't even install it in the 3rd Gens with a 350ci engine.

yea it might work for a while on a bone stock car but i wouldnt bother doing it unless you dont mind putting in a new one in the near future. the trannies are stronger then many give them credit for though. i had a 300hp crate motor with a t5 on street tires and it never gave me a problem. id probably stick it out for a 6 speed though.
