well, it depends on the model. i don't think you would have a chance against a stock Gt500, but you probably wouldn't post the question if that were the case. i'd say you have a decent chance though. only one true way to find out which is to line them up, and go

Smoother clutch engagement. Grippier tires. Better and lower suspension. Chassis stiffening. Limited-slip differential. Weight-biasing the front end.

my bad. i am using my phone and accidently hit end when typing. when i brought up my browser again i thought it took me back to where i was. i just started typing my reply again not realising it brought me back to your post that i just read. as for your question though, my buddy put drag radials on his turbo crx. pricey, but they work.

stiffer suspension, better bushings, better motor mounts/inserts, better tires, and most important learn how to drive.

If you have a pretty much stock A6 and wheel spin problems you just suck at driving. Traction bar and a torque damper will also help though and hasn't been metioned yet.
