just wondering. my co-worker keeps challenging me with his a6 (auto). i know it's got 250 hp and it's 0-60 is about 6 sec. what about a 1/4 mi? given that i'm not the greatest driver (this is my first stick). the quattro and bi-turbo (or whatever it's called) sounds intimidating. he won't have any wheel spin or hop problems like us. his only mod is a drop-in k&n. i'm all stock for now. what do you guys think? also, any tips on launching a manual with minimal spin? what rpms work the best? should i always shift at redline? these are probably all stupid questions but give me a credit, i've been driving manual for less than 3 months and mostly on highways. thanks!

those are mid 6's and high 14's

Race him and find out...I say you have the advantage, but it will be close. On a roll you should take him. With an auto, he really can't harness the AWD potential well. He might be lying and have a chip. In that case he has the advantage with 300 hp and 350 ft lbs.

thanks guys. i know for a fact he has no chip. he's too affraid to mod while on warranty.

Black CL-S 4-Life

My best friend has a A6 2.7 Tip and we race all the time. Even though he has AWD I kill him off the line and beat him about 2 cars to 60. One the highway its closer we ran from 50- 100 and I beat him by 1 car. That car really moves once the biturbos spool. But it should be an easy kill since you are a 6sp.

My boss has one. We've played around a few times. I have a modded TL-S (w/o the sc) and I can easily take him after the initial launch to about 115mph (1.5 to 2 cars lengths). I end up better from a roll of about 45mph (3 cars or so to the same speed) in all honesty. He had a lightly modded S4 before the A6 and it was much quicker than the TL-S from any start...

Don't think they're quick with an auto. Would be pretty even against the 6 speed A6. Should be able to walk all over the auto.

Somethin' we'll likely never see with an Acura.

"Somethin' we'll likely never see with an Acura."

Only possible with Turbo engines which introduces a whole host of issues particularly if you overboost.

Ming 2.7T

A6 2.7T Tip,,, 0-60mph 6.45-6.60 seconds. 1/4 mile best day 14.9 , mostly 15.0-15.2.
60' about 2.25-2.35. Takes awhile to get it going even if the turbos spool and create 258lbs from about 1850rpms. Car weighs 3850 no driver.
6 speed have run 14.4 and ~5.8-6.0 0-60mph.
I would think the CL-S auto has a slight advantage and the manual CL-S should do well against the tiptronic. Just make sure you hit your shifts.
