M6 car will make more power, less drivetrain loss...
A4 cars are more consistant at the track, and usually get better times.

Basically Automatics are more work and break more often, but IMO they are better for 1/4 mile when they are set up right.
This is comming from a M6 owner. I love my M6 and would never give it up because i love driving, but for a track car, its only automatic.

Re: A4 or M6/????
vacuume modulator gives you instant down shifts, versus punching the gas, going for half a second, and then down shifting. I got one when I got my tranny from Pro-Built.
I think a stalled 4L60E will take an M6 given similar mods from a dig to 1/4 mile. I really havent heard of too many cam/headers only LT1s running my times(that means stock rear too).
