Even stock-to-stock, the A6 2.7T with 6-sp manual is about the same
acceleration wise as the 4.2.  And the 2.7T has much more tuning
potential than the 4.2.  But the A6 4.2 does have some nice
attributes (V8 sound, fender flares and a more sculpted rear seat
area, plus more luxo amenities).

Drive both and decide for yourself.
