    Did you buy an A4 but now wish it were an M6?

    I've owned 5 Mustangs and all were 5-speeds and to this day I would never own an automatic Mustang. But, lately I've been wanting to try an LS1 and found one that I like, looks well taken care of for not a bad price... but it's an auto. That's the only drawback.

    I'm still considering going through with it but figured I'd post in here anyway. Basically, as the thread title states, have you bought an automatic and later regret you didn't get a 6-speed?

    yes... for cruising and weekends, an M6 would be a dream. but if i were to make a track car, or DD...Auto is the choice...i'd love it if it was an A6 though.

    Get a Yank stall converter and you won't regret it.

    M6 never have it any other way. Sounds awesome going through the gears with full exhaust. Helps gas mileage

    Depends on what you're gonna be using the car for. Racing or just driving. If you wouldnt want anything but the 5spd stang than you'll want a 6spd F-body.

    Short of building an all out drag race car get the M6. Seeing you like the 5speed's you'll love the 6speed!

    Don't do it bro, M6's are the shit man. It's worth the wait, just take your time and don't jump into any purchases. The right car will come along you just have to be patient. Good luck on the search...

    I'd have to agree here. I can't stand my m6. If I am ever going to make my car fast, I'm changing to an auto. I don't have any long highway strips to even use sixth gear. Also, it doesn't help with my fuel economy.

    Pic, video or it didn't happen!













    I guess that's a good reason though. I've been lucky so far. I downhill ski and have had a few knee injuries, but nothing permanent yet.

    I have an M6, but would rather have an A4.

    Tired of driving a stick.
