The money you would spend on a conversion could be used to trade in on a z06. Also nice vette

A lot more to be done than just unbolting the A4 and bolting in the M6.
There were a couple threads last year on doing this swap in a 98 vert as I recall. Pretty detailed info. Search for it...........
If it were me and I had to have a manual trans I would be looking to trade my auto C5 for a manual C5. JMHO
I'd be paying someone & alrighty I'll give the thread a search ! Thanks

Nice ride I can see why you would want to change to manual rather then selling the car but I'm sure its pricey
