Agreed that the A6 can come alive when flooring it or drving it agressively. Any v6 would do that as well if you drive it hard. Yes, my A6 1LT from a dead stop can launch and throw head back if I punch throttle and go wot, and at wot will redline shift...however, this is not what im worried or concerned about. Im not drag racing when going to work or daily driving, lol. So no need for wot, or rev it high to shift around 4000 rpm...this will eat up gas, and one of the big reasons I got the v6 was for mpg, too. Great car, good power, and great LFX engine that can give me 323 hp while also 24-26 avg mpg! If I wanted to drive it like a madman, amd not mind 18 avg mpg, I would have def gone SS route. Im sure with the auto SS, we dont have to punch the throttle to 3000-4000rpm pulling out of house to work to make it feel "alive".

Im just trying to figure out way to keep my nice 24 avg mpg, while getting my A6 V6 to feel responsive around 2000-2500 rpm. It's gotta be the Torque.

Hopefully a tb will help, amd surely a tune would do the same. Just wish I didnt have to spend money on that to begin with for a feel the car should have from factory, imo.
