I agree, some people just don't grasp it. The fact that the internet has it's fair share of youngins or people with chips on their shoulders doesn't help matter either. I currently own one of each (4th gens) and like them both equally. Also being an avid classic car collector, I don't turn away muscle cars just because of the transmission they may have. As a matter of fact, whether an auto or a stick, it's never seemed to affect the appraisal values. I can appreciate either.

i really thought i would hear some of the m6 owners complain about the clutch pedal fade problem.that was the #1 main reason i sold my m6 and went with an a4.i tried to eliminate that problem the best i could.the clutch fade got better after my repair,but the problem still existed.so i sold her.now i got an a4 which went out on me within 300 miles of owning the car.the servo oring split so the servo wasnt able to apply the wideband anymore.easy fix.anyhoo,...a4 cars are much better than m6s.they are faster,sexier,built better,smell nicer and i really hope you guys are catching on to my sarcasim.lol!!

Ya there is the hydraulic clutch system that sucks, and it's usually a 1st on the list of upgrades. Then of course there is the clutch itself that is marginal when you start throwing power at it.
Then once you have the driveline up to snuff to take stick racing abuse, being the rearend and the driveshaft, and can actually drive the car the way stick cars were meant to be driven, you'll find out how weak the output shaft is, just sayin See what I mean about stick racing getting expensive?? That's not even mentioning safety goodies like blow proof bellhousings.Last edited by Firebirdjones; 10-27-2010 at 10:17 AM.

Ok.......As posted before, everyone's a winner if they have an LS1! This SHOULD ONLY be respectful opinions & healthy debate about WHY one has an A4 or M6. There's going to be negative and positive reasons either way. BUT I still haven't heard enough feedback about WHY the mighty ZR1 is a 6speed only car. Let's also remember the ZR1 is the BEST Chevy has to offer from the factory. OH and by the way, has anyone seen how it destroys the GTR and other machines costing 3 times as much. Who knows, maybe with an automatic it would drop faster 0-60's and 1/4 mile times huh?????lol.... If that were true, maybe it WOULD have an Auto!!! (again, this is healthy debate gentleman)

These threads always go forever. Simple:
51% track car, 49% street car? Automatic
49% track car, 51% street car? Manual
If you like rowing gears on the street more then cutting lights at the track, get a manual. Not much more to it.
I cut a few 1.69 60's in my 6 speed and many 1.71/2/3 60's. Sometimes after that, I missed 3rd because (insert excuse here) and lost the race. That sucks, and is why I will be swapping to a automatic. Because I like winning races more then rowing gears.
It's really a simple question answer, that requires zero debate in my eyes.

Different engine for the manual. It was able to meet CAFE fuel standards with the 6 speed so the variable timing engine wasn't used. Transmission choice had nothing to do with the power the engine made.
The auto's were rated a tad lower since they had to use less cam timing to meet CAFE fuel standards, the auto just didn't give the mileage needed, otherwise they both would have had the same engine.Last edited by Firebirdjones; 10-27-2010 at 04:01 PM.
