alright, i <3 stick... and im going to get my camaro soon... just waiting for a good deal to pass me up on a 98-02 ss M6... but this car is going to be my daily driver and im going to mod the hell out of it, and eventually i'll get another car as my camaro becomes more of a drag car and less of a daily driver... but this retard i know was telling me to get an A4 because it launches better than a M6... which is true, but i'd want to stay with an M6 though cuz i'll end up catching up.

i wanted to know you're opinion on this matter... what would be better on the track, and M6 or an A4... head to head, w/ the same mods, which would finish first... and yea, basicly what car is better for track use... thanks guys

I love stick so got an M6,
but sometimes I wish I got an A4 becouse I am gonna mod mine as well and track times are more consistand in an A4

SpecForceZ28

Wanna trade?

depending on the driver, an a4 could beat a m6 or vise versa, i would say go for the m6. It feels alot more snappy and tons more fun to drive. I regret the A4 sometimes

M6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i love stik....and u will too

especially on the street...at the strip yes a4s with stall converters are very fast of the line.....

Well i would pick the A4 because it DOES launch better, easier in stop and go traffic, dont have to go through that annoying skip to 4th crap, all you have to do is just bring the rpms to 1200 and go! I would like an M6, which will probably be my next car, but its just easier with the A4. Not to mention that the 4L60 is one of the best automatic transmissions out there.

If you go M6, be prepared to swap clutch if stock... I love standard.

yeah, i love stick dude, thats what i plan on getting... i just wanna see what you ppl think and what you guys have to say so i can make my choice. i mean... i dont think i could drive an automatic... i love playing with the gears man, it's more fun driving stick for me, cuz i can control everything. only thing is that a4's launch better off the line... and like i said, eventually this car would be an all out drag car within the next 5 years, lol

ahh... i seriously cant see myself driving an A4... where's the fun in that dude? lol

stik6shift98

sounds to me like u want to be a stik6shift er...lmao

lata man

Automatics are fun!!

dj haf

lmao, yeah man, can't have a cool name like that if you drove an A4 now could you? lol j/k

Agreed. Sounds like you've got your mind made up anyway.

However, this is back to the old M6>A4 debate that goes on all the time around here, and you'll always get the same response, that the A4 will launch better and run more consistent at the track ('cause it's true) but for ~95% of your driving, the M6 will be more fun.

IMO, they're probably one of the worst autos out there. Compared to the older TH350's, TH400's, and Power-glides, the 4L60 and 4L60E are a piece of junk. I don't think the internals are nearly as "tough" as they used to be. The 4L60 (also known as 700-R4) in my dad's '89 Chev pickup has been rebuilt twice.........maybe even 3 times?! Also, I've heard lots of horror stories on here of them failing after just a few thousand miles. Ask "psychocabbage" about his experience with the 4L60E?! (blew SIX of them!!) Just for that reason, I'm afraid of my own car. However, I like having an A4 (for daily stop-and-go driving), and even if mine fails once the warranty is up, I may swap in a TH350.

Gotta go M6... It makes driving so much more fun!!

My friend and I both have '99 Z28s, he has a M6 and mine's an A4.

I'll tell you first hand that his car is a blast to drive, but mine is more practical for everyday use. Performance is almost the same. My car is stock and he has a Whisper Lid and a Flowmaster.

I'll bet your car ins. will be a little bit higher with an M6.

Darth Xed

Gotta agree... Tranny has no effect on insurance.


As far as the practicality issue... well, I'd say an auto is really only more practical if you drive in heavy urban traffic regularly.
