Many would love to trade for a stick, but the only way they were able to buy a Vette in the first place was to get an automatic torque converter transmission so their wife or girl friend could drive "their" Vette to "girls night out"!

Put a Maggie Or Edelbrock supercharger on it, get the tranny tuned by Chuck Cow & it'll be a lot more fun than another stock C6 & probably a lot cheaper.

My wife, son and daughter can drive an M6, but I bought and enjoy my A6 in Chicago traffic.

I didn't like my A6 until I had a CoW tune. After that it rocked.

Find it very sad when a man judges himself or is concerned about how others will judge him by the transmission he has of all things.

But according to 1 or 2 members on this thread you're not a man if you have a A6. They buy the M6 to feel more secure about their manhood and feel the need to let everyone know it.

They should be very careful.....That they don't roll up on one of my customers "GIRLY" A6 cars....

Cause it will likely **** on them and jump out ahead.... And stay there!

Sticks, Watch you backs...
Cause the A6's are gonna ATTACK!

Geez ... we're almost down to "who's d***" is bigger.

Claiming the A6 being faster means virtually nothing, b/c you may just end up seeing the rear end of of a supercharged M6. The majority of us drive a Corvette b/c it's FUN ... and if you get your fun driving an A6, thats's cool

When I decided to get another Vette last year (1st since 1981 - kid's college over ) I had a list of options I wanted and I would have taken a automatic or a manual. The best value was an M6 and I have had plenty of fun since
