Default A4 vs M6 C5?

which one is faster? is M6 with same rwhp numbers as a A4 always going to be faster than a A4?

And i mean faster outside of the track, lets say a highway pull, will the m6 always beat the a4?

If I were thinking about that, then I'd also be thinking about this.

A burger in one hand, a coke in the cup holder, you slow way down to make a turn onto another road, and then your cell phone rings.

Auto or Manual?

I have to say the auto really impresses the heck out of me. GM did a great job in the software that controls the shift points and behavior. In all the different cars I've owned, the C5 Automatic is like nothing else.

Test drive an auto and put it through your own test.

question leads to racing on the highway. Also do a search many threads A4 vs M6 and most get locked.
