For all you peolple that posted this 
or seemed to think this topic as been discussed a million times, this person is a Junior member here with only a few posts... you all saw the title of the thread was clear since you are all pro's so why did you read it anyway 
we should be encouraging people to ask questions, or kindly pointing them to the search function.
This is my new pet Peeve lately
Welcome #1stunna- 6spd vs Auto is really a drivers race it's very close, gearing in the 6speed is a little more agressive with 342 vs the auto 273 or 315 depending on which option you get.

As far as using the search feature. That's fine and might give someone some background information but what if someone had some point of view to convey or they just wanted to participate in a thread they started or one that is current?
You guys that come into these threads just to pass judgement and act as if you are better than everyne else because you have unlimited time to be on this forum make me sick.
If you have nothing relevant to say in any thread then stay out!

Everything else being equal, the 6 speed is faster due to less loss in the drivetrain

The M6 is delivered witha 3.42 rear while the performance option for the A4 is 3.15

#1Stunna, welcome to the forum.
And for all the newer members out there, did anybody mention that the forum has a real nice search feature.
As others have mentioned, this topic has been beat to a pulp.

Unless the rules have changed, I thought anyone could comment on any thread, as long as the answer did not include foul language, selling drugs, guns, street racing, illegal activities, etc.
I did not know I had to answer to you regarding a thread of mine. If my comment bothered you soooooo much, I'll offer you the same advice you gave me. You have absolutely no right pass judgement on anything I say on this forum. "If you have nothing relevant to say, then stay out." And believe me----you have nothing relevant to say. Have a nice day.

If, however, you were to move the shifter to, say, second gear and then stomped on the gas and did not let up I believe you would then hit red line and your car would act accordingly.
Just my opinion. Hope this helps.

This was not "your" thread and I added my opinion that was related to the thread owner's subject.
Your comments only motivated me to state my opinion of what you are all about.
I may truly have nothing of value to say and that's okay with me but you won't see me trashing someone elses thread just to show of my ability to use little picture icons.
You have a nice day too.

I bet all of you use the search function before you post every thread, especially when you had 0 posts and were new.Forum police are so great. It never gets old. 4 or 5 in every forum. You know who you are.
On Topic: 6spds are faster. Yes it depends on the driver, but generally, unless you can't drive stick, they are faster.

6 speeds are not faster. Check your facts... might try doing a search.

I've had 3 automatics and they were fun. I'm 59 now and have a 6-speed and am having the thrill of my life. Anybody can beat me because I prolong the gear changes at moderate speeds just to hear the roar of my corsa; especially with the top down. Buy what you want, drive safely, no racing except on the track, and keep waving!!!
