Either way, they're very close. But if you have to pick a winner, it's the A8.
I would not feel comfortable saying an A8 is faster on a road course. Where is your proof? I doubt it is faster from a roll. Like it or not, roll racing is very real. For example:

It would be nice if the OP would elaborate what he is trying to figure out. The A8 has lower gear ratio than the M7 so it spins the tires easier. The other cool thing about the Auto is it shifts so fast it will keep spinning through the gears. So you can start fish tailing in 1st and shift to 2nd with no interruption and just keep fish tailing up the highway. At least that's what my GS will do so I assume its even easier in the Z06.

I think this is the proper way to spin your tires
