I would like to see them dump the L99 all together. Use the LS3 for both A6 and M6 and just use the gearing to avoid the gas guzzler tax, just like they did on the 4th gens and just like Ford is doing. For the A6, offer a 3.08 rear end to miss the gas guzzler tax, and the 3.55 or 3.73 for the performance package. We all know pushing 460-480 out of the LS3 will be easy, it is more of a marketing decision of how much to add and when to do it. I expect the new rating to be right around 450. Just dump the AFM already though, it is not worth the drop in performance, and for those that want better economy, you offer the highway gears.
