Performance difference between 2.56 and 2.73 gears
What kind of performance difference is there between an A6 with 2.56 versus one with 2.73 gears? How much faster in the 1/4 would the 2.73 car be?

The difference between 2.56 & 2.73 is 0.17.
The difference between 2.73 and 3.42 is 0.69
The difference between 2.56 and 3.42 is known to pick up .around 20 to .30.
0.17 divided by 0.69 is 0.24 or 24%. Therefore, the change from 2.56 to 2.73 should pick up only 24% of what the change between 2.73 and 3.42 did.
24% times 2 tenths = 0.5 of half of a tenth
24% times 3 tenths = 0.72 or less than three fourths of a tenth.
