Lot of touchy M6 people out there, why is an A6 not fun to drive, I row thru the gears like an M6 trans, the car shifts when I hit the paddles and it works like a good manual trans. I get the added bonus of putting it back into drive to lean back and enjoy the drive when I want to.
So lets not attack each other but support one another as we have that one thing in common we are all VETTE OWNERS.

With a supercharger you automatically lose your warranty, with a rear gear change they won't know that you did a change.
Which is why guys are opting for a 2K gear and tune rather then a $10K supercharger.

A Chuck CoW Tune is the real deal!!!!
I have a Chuck CoW tune and I can't imagine having a 3.15 or 3.42 rear in my A6 .
This manual (manly) vs. auto (girly) stuff gets real old .
I know what my A6 can do and so does the 04 Z06 down the street...when I see him again I will ask him how does my tail lights look from behind .

I would love to do this, but I drive about 30,000 mi a year for work. Driving would be no vacation for me. I will just have until a e-mail tune is available. I had my pevious cars tranny tuned via e-mail and it made a big difference in the fun factor. Spring is just around the corner!!!!

Why do the MN6 guys click on an obvious A6 thread?
For the same reason the LMB guys click on the JSB threads.
They want to read about obviously better cars!

I need at least 10 A6 C6 cars here in Hawaii for Chuck to do a working vacation out here and do the tunes to make it worth his while.

I don't think so, I'm sure he said in a recent post that he has to have the car for his tune, he cannot do mail order at this time. Hope he comes back here and clears that up.

wow, i must really have issues i sold my 03 Z06 just so i could get the 08 auto btw my last four Vettes were all manuals the 69, 86, 89, and the 03 just got tired of shifting i mean really whats the point of shifting? unless you make money racing your car who cares if the manual is a couple of seconds faster in a road race. ever been to the drag strip? you will notice almost no one uses a stick anymore, all auto's, in fact they have special manual shift classes now b/c of the limited use. just a thought.

Once upon a time....
There were thousands of Corvette owners.... and most of them bought standard shift cars... But why???
Standard shift cars were cool, macho, FAST, and they were MENS CARS...for REAL MEN.
Historically, what self respecting MAN bought an AUTOMATIC VETTE??????
Well, you know...The guys that couldn't drive stick....or maybe the guy with a bum leg.....the poor guy that had to share the car with his wife....You know the type....
Certainly, most WOMEN bought AUTOMATICS.....They were "GIRL CARS"...easy to drive....smooth...and slow....
They were weak, underpowered, they shifted soft.... for sissys....
You didn't buy and AUTOMATIC cause it was fast....You bought it cause you wanted to look cool....You had no intention of racing....You were only going cruising....
And for the poor guys that bought AUTOMATICS....How they were abused by their STICK DRIVING BUDDIES...Everyone made fun of you for buying an AUTOMATIC....How you got TEASED and TAUNTED for your choice of transmission.....

It's been many years since then...Your feelings were hurt....you felt like a wimp.....people still make fun of you till this day......You always REGRETTED buying that AUTOMATIC VETTE...... If you could only go back in time and change the past..... You would buy the stick shift VETTE, BE COOL, GO RACING WITH THE BOYS, and FEEL LIKE A MAN DRIVING A MANS CAR, and NEVER TURN DOWN A CHALLENGE!!!
FAST FORWARD TO 2006
It's now 2006....You like the C6....It's Cool....Got 400hp....and gets 30 MPG....You wanna get a new Vette....WOW, a 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC is available.... Sounds fun...PADDLE SHIFTERS like STAR WARS! HOW SPORTY! You remember the past....and how you got abused for buying the AUTOMATIC.....
OH NO! It couldn't happen again...It's not possible.....IT's 2006 for GODS SAKE! and IT's a 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC.....SURELY IT'S GOT POWER! GM must have finally got it right!.....400hp RIGHT?
You've grown up....You're older now and more mature.....The Automatic seems like a practical choice.....and you say to yourself......
HECK, the damn thing is near 60 GRAND! IT's got to be fast! Right?
So, you muster up the nerve, plunk down your money, and sign the papers and......YOU NOW OWN ANOTHER AUTOMATIC VETTE!!!
You take museum delivery....You take her home...break her in gently, wait 1,500 miles before you go over half throttle....You do EVERYTHING by the book...Hoping that when the 1,500 miles is up.....YOU'RE GONNA GET A PLEASANT SURPRISE!
You change the break in oil....Head out to the highway....CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND STOMP THE PEDAL.......
YES, JUST LIKE BEFORE...YOU'RE THE PROUD OWNER OF AN AUTOMATIC VETTE...ONCE AGAIN.....
The shifts are soft, acceleration is weak, the PADDLES SUCK.....and you're looking at 5 years of payments for a car that you already know YOU HATE.
YOUR FRIENDS WERE RIGHT AGAIN! THEY BOUGHT STICKS, THEIR CARS ARE FASTER......AND THEY ARE COOL.....
AGAIN, YOU ARE NOT...
