I concur, the C5 S6 should be on your list.  I did the search for the 6
speed allroad but after driving one wanted another S6.  As noted, the
suspension on the allroad needs an upgrade to be at the level of an S car
and its expensive to maintain.

Three months ago I sold my tired C4 S6 with 280K miles to my mechanic and I
don't miss the Manual.  I really thought I would, but I have to say that
Audi did a great job upgrading the C4.  Tiptronic, especially in Sport mode
gives great control and power when you need it.

The C5 S6 is perfect without a 6 speed manual gearbox.  If it was a little
lighter, I may agree with you.

The thing is a battleship.  You have to drive one for an extended period of
time to get it.  187k & I wouldn't have it any other way.

Joe, that oughta get the troops riled up today, Pizzo

Plan B: buy an S6 Avant with a bad tranny and do a six speed swap. Fully
documented on multiple sites, parts readily available. It will be cheaper
than the AR, and there's less to go wrong.

Love the idea Steve, but see both sides of 'that'.  I'd prob lean toward K04s 'n coilovers to the Smallroad to replace the maintenance concern ("replace" is more like "displace" heh heh).

Joeynutz / Jeff...  there are many, mannnnnnny daze I'm rather grateful and appreciate Alumibitch's Tip'dom.  Yep.  Fersure.  But there are a few scattered daze of yearn for AAN / 6spd.  Should I think it like the Reeses commercials tho mebbe?  I figure when I Baloney It (she blows up in a firey blaze of WOT fury), that's the consideration.  Hmmmm.  Oh Scott Dewittttttttttt.  I really could get good coinage for my rebuilt tip, and/and/and.........

Tho the auto is nice, s'pecially when you have a stick car or two (or 5 for Baloney) riding pine ready for game.  And wifely likes to be able to switch cars - shoot, there's reason alone to swap eh?

Back to reality (where?), Paul I asked Brian to keep an eye out for ya.  Rossato scored one last year, mebbe he'll chime in on his experience (of owning it from 3k miles away).

Further reality - Pizzo, shouldn't you not be typing... rather... sitting Johnny Benchesque w/ mit waiting for Alice to pop?  TO THE MOON, Alice.  Mmmmmwaaaaa, mmmmmwaaaaaa...

Go ask Alice, when she's...............
