C6 auto vs 6spd track results
Hey all,
Im a C5 who has growin intrest in the C6 and have been lurking here off and on... My main question would be regarding track times. It seems the stock c6's are turning equal and faster times then the c5. I was wondering if there is any difference in gearing from the auto's vs the c5, or if stall are higher, etc... I know on the c5's tradtionally, the 6spd was significantly faster. Any insight you guys could provide would be appreciated. Thanks,
Kap

So far the quickest bone stock times we've seen on the forum are 12.499 for a Z51 mn6 and a 12.75 for a Z51 A4.
As with the C5, you can order the A4 with either a 2.73 standard or optional 3.15 (required with the Z51 A4).
As with the C5, the sticks are about 3 mph faster at the end of the track.
Don't know about torque converter stall, but I would bet its not high at all.

Both were box stock, LS1's and only a year or so between.
At the strip, the A4's usually beat out the 6 spds (stock vs stock) unless the 6 spd is driven perfectly. I've seen this many many times, GM's A4's are nice trannys! The difference in MPH at the end is because of overall gearing in the tranny and rear end
