This question has been asked before on the forum, but I haven't seen an answer yet. Is there a modification to the '06 A6 that can get rid of the shifting lag, as they have done with the '07?

The A6 is good for 670lb.ft. of torque.

I think the A4 is in the mid fives. (Not sure on this,correct me if I'm wrong.)

If you are thinking mods,then take this into consideration.

I checked with my service advisor and he could not find anything that stated the 06 software can be upgraded to 07.

So, the 07 shifts better than the 06 A6?

That is what I've read. I have a friend with a 07 A6, but he won't take it above 3500 rpm (I'd love to buy a used car from this man, he really takes excellent care of his cars!).
