A6 strong enough????? your thoughts please
GM claims they can’t put the Automatic six-speed paddle shift transmission in a Z06 because the transmission cannot handle the power of the Z06. I know there are a lot of forum members with A6s and mods making over 505 hp……. Any trany problems or is GM just blowing smoke and making excuses?:bs ???

GM rated the A4 at 425 ft-lb and rates the new A6 at 450 ft-lb. We know from experience that the A4 could handle very high transient torque loads, and we also know from experience how to beef it up to handle even more. The A6 remains more of a question mark because it hasn't been out long enough, or in enough vehicles, to develop a valid statistical universe. It is more complex, it is longer, so it is reasonable to assume it won't handle the sort of transient loads a properly beefed A4 can. But it does seem to be pretty stout. |
