Their comments about the automatic on the track was not encouraging!

The latest version of the A6 in the C6 is a quantum improvement over the first A6 in 2006 and the C7 A6 is supposed to be even better. That said, it's no dual clutch or modern ZF eight speed auto, which it needs for a fun street tranny. Tadge knows that I'm sure and let's hope the bean counters don't stop it from happening.

Still nice! 11.7s @ 118+ for stock. Dyno results are also good.
They even have the yellow calipers.
