what is the a6
I see allot of discussion about the a4 and a6 on forums. I have searched and found no help. Can someone please just explain this concept to me. Is it just the different supercharger or ?

The 2005 MY vettes with auto tranny have only the A4, but you could get either the standard 2.73 rear axle ratio or the 3.15 rear axle ratio.
The 2006 MY vettes with auto tranny have only the A6 and only the 2.56 rear axle ratio. However, with the A6, you can still let the tranny shift itself or you can use the push buttons on the steering wheel to let the driver shift.

Mine too, and I only have a few hundred miles on it still (LSX motors get clearly faster/more potent with more miles on them, up to a point of course) so I haven't really even 'stood on it' yet either...can't wait til it's fully broken in.
