and my personal opinion is that if you're asking questions like "what's faster auto or manual" .... you should in no way be considering any form of racing.....
Maybe he was kidding... (God I hope he was) [&:]

I've never driven one, but the A6 is pretty heavy. I would suggest you go for a 944 (turbo or N/A) for a track car. But if you want a daily driver that sees a track a few times a year, then get a B5 A4 1.8T Quattro Manual (sport package if possible).

if you have the $$ and want to live out my fantasy...assuming ur a6 is a 6spd 2.7 BT then here goes....swap out the turbos to garrett GT28R's...and then do all other modifications needed to support this setup....upgraded injectors air DV's manifold...the works...intake...standalone ecu..and such and such...big big big brakes gut the interior suspension p-sport cups on some really really light BBS wheels and go from there....but hey thats me...i know im missing a bunch of things..like a clutch...but yea..something along the lines of that should put a smile on your face at the tack....or i guess you could always trade your a6 for an rs6 and be 2 steps ahead of the game....keep the quattro...thats why Pobst and Galati always win....At the start of the races they jump to the outside and pass everyone on the grass....its a beautiful thing to watch...

Better have about $15,000-$20,000 sitting if you're going for that... And just think, for that price, you could build a TRACK ONLY B5, or an older model Porsche. Just consider that before you go and throw all of this money into a luxery sedan.
