I watched him do it!
I was behind him doing my burnout in my 03 Cobra when he ran his 12,5@111 on a 1.91 60' his 1st pass.
Later on that day he cranked out a 12.48@112.
My C6 A4/3.15 Vert ran a 12.57@110.67 on a 1.92 60'.
What's not to believe?

I have had my 2006 for only two months, but loved my paddles
Great transmission
Now if you are really into racing, then I can see going manual, but for the casual guy who just like to "go through the gears" every now and then, the A6 is the best of both worlds
