I'm just sayin, if you want a V6, and are looking for the best performance in a V6...
I guess everything is relative.

That's disregarding the relative HP and weight difference of the two cars.
How did you do that?

Our Camaro has less hp than the C7 and weighs more so it's not going to perform as well as the Corvette. You have to disregard the difference in outright performance and pay attention to how the transmission responds to your driving demands. The A8 shifts faster, more often and keeps the car in the power band better than the A6. Dive into a corner and the A8 downshifts aggressively so when you hit the gas on the exit, its already in the right gear. The A6 in the Camaro is more likely to have to shift again when you hit the throttle because it does not downshift as aggressively.
