Lol. Not often I post some witty humour here..as you know it fits and works great.. Can't wait to see the new beast done. Shitty part is if the wife beats you, it's going to be hard to blame it on a bad shift... Haha. Let me know when she's done and will make sure we get to the track..

it is all about the human factor and gearing in the transmission...the A6 1st gear is very steep and gets the car off the line very quickly. The M6 first gear even with the 3.73 rear isn't a match for the A6. Give the A6 split second upshifts and it isn't even close. As Lance stated, it takes 100rwhp to make up the difference M6 vs A6.

I'll let you know Johnny. That would be great if a bunch of us could get together at the track before the end of the season. I was at Davenport today and the built engine was ready to go back in the car. I'm hoping I've taken enough precautions to make sure that white car doesn't get around me.

That's one way, I also thought about hiding her handheld so she can't load her race gas tune!!

I think a few small changes may be in order....then it's all up to the driver and, let's see.....who always had the fastest time when we both drove my car?? I know how to get to Davenport.....
