I have heard the auto really wakes up with a just tune as well!. But, then it isn't stock I guess, even though the parts are. Either way, I would sure agree your average driver would be faster (or at least more consistent) with the A6

And, while I prefer manual, I definitely wouldn't be calling someone "slow" just because of an auto, that's for sure! There's a reason the really really fast cars are almost all autos!

Yes all the Car and Driver, Road and Track, etc guys supposedly run the best times in the manual versions of tested cars as do the manufacturers with their said claims but these guys do those things for a living and spend all day with the cars if not a week or more...with the most ideal track conditions to add.

Manuals are alot of fun to drive but a good manual driver changes things up a bit when running an auto. Check out Royal Tiger on here to see how nice a black vert can be with a few things changed up a bit. His car is nice as well.

Welcome and good choice on a 13 of coarse I'm a little partial! I owned a 96 TA Vert for 18 years and really enjoyed it but the 5th gen is better all around. As others have said a few mods and a tune really does wake up the L99.
