Yes, his A6 is in the ball park. Now all you have to do is get to the track and post some really quick times
Sorry LS1LT1 you will have to wait till Etown reopens

Concerning feeling doggy, nope. Gearing falls between the standard MN6 and the Z51 MN6.

You have a strong car, since Auto's usually soak up closer to 20%, I would imagine that you are running slightly over 400hp at the crank.

Otherwise why design and retool for a new transmission?
I for one did not buy an A6 to compete with a M6 or to race anything for that matter.
I bought something that would be a pleasure for me to drive in every day Florida traffic. Otherwise I would have saved $1250?
I was raised on manual transmissions, built fast cars and Hot Rods with manual transmissions, Restored cars with manual transmissions. I've had enough of manual transmissions unless it’s in a classic or antique car.

The 3rd run was the best
when you say the 3rd was the best do you mean?
The run done in 3rd gear?
or the #3 run?

I would bet that with a 3.42 rearend the time would be slower than stock. 3.42 will require one more shift than with the stock rearend. In addition even with the 2.56 there is a traction problem in 1st, it will just get worse with 3.42's and you don't have enough gear to launch in second.

The A4 has been around a long time. One would hope that GM would apply all lessons learned since the birth of the A4 to the new A6.
