I'm pretty sure you couldn't get a Z06 with an A4. I'm almost positive that all you can get is a M6.

Default M12 Only

The 01-04 Z06 was available with a M12 trans only. It was geared differently from the M6.

The 06 Z06 is also only available in a 6 spd configuration.

Any Auto you might see was a conversion (like the Z06 convertibles).

No...if you want an A4 in a Z06, you need to swap out the 6-speed.

Same is true of the 99-00 FRC's, all M6's.

Looks like a hard top for a vert to me. Close, but not the real deal. The seam is a dead giveaway, as is the way the glass doesn't run all the way down.

Mine might have one in the spring too. The A4 swap is expensive, but pretty much required for the drag strip.
