You've got to at least give us the engines you are comparing. But seeing as you are asking about the A4 and the A6, I'm guessing you're talking about the 2.8 or 3.0 engines, since that is the only one they share. My guess (and I'm a newbie when it comes to Audi) is that the A4 is going to have an advantage. The A6 will be a heavier car... like Shaunp05 said, power to weight, the A4 will come out on top. That is unless there's something I don't know about like, they put a 500 pound lead weight in all A4's. Don't buy a car soley on which one goes faster. WHen you talk about an Audi, you talk about other things like refinement in automotive engineering.... ah who am I kidding, get the A4, it goes faster......

i say the A6 wit the 2.7 will be faster the A4 would be giving up 100Hp (250vs150Hp) thats lot of power for the disadvantage of wieght

0-60, 9.9 sec. WTF, I didn't realize my car was that slow stock. Anybody know how much seconds the chip shaves off?
