A4 or M6? Which would you rather? And why? |

M6 and M6 only. I like being a part of the acceleration process. Jeff |

The same here - but only with a M5 
IMO a real sports car (no, I consider my V6 not "a real sports car") should have manual transmission. The driver has full control of RPMs, when to hit the powerband, when to shift, to hit the rev limiter or not etc 
OK, and Ms save some fuel. Sometimes. But for cruising or city driving I´d sometimes prefer a A. |

Hm ... Automatic is probably the nicer thing for cruising, or more consistent for bracket racing, but manual is more fun when racing, and requires more skill ... (I guess) Oh, my 'vert is an M5, my '79 has a TH350, and the Cherokee is automatic, too ... Beemer runs on an M5, too ... so I guess it's 10:7 for manual Gears, that is ...

M6 only Auto is more consistent but you have less control to a certain extent. Plus they are boring. |

M6 but it shifts as quick as a A4. No lift and shift crap here it is like stab & jab @ WOT. |

It would be the M6 for me every time, I have to say, even if my quarters suffered. It gives you control and a wider choice of gears hammering through bends, a proper driving experience. I spend more time trying to stop my A4 changing up at the stupidest moments. I still can't figure why the vast majority of UK cars have A4's. M6's are very rare. But at least I don't have to worry about the clutch. It cost me about 500 pounds to change the clutch on my '87. |

well you could put a reverse manual valve body in that A4 and change a couple check balls with a converter and a ratchet shifter. It takes the thinking away from your computer and puts it in your shifter - clutch pedal. |
