Maybe if I lived at the drags I could figure it out, but going only 3 times a year makes it tough. I may go with the A8.

No flame intended, but why would you base your transmission choice for all of that car's use on an activity so rarely participated in?

This point always seems to come up, and I still don't see the appeal of having to share the credit with a transmission that does it all for you (or the people who programmed it to be able to).
We've owned manual transmission cars exclusively for over 40 years, and have no intention of changing that no matter what car we buy next. At this point, it's just the way we expect cars to work.
