Audi quit delivering cars, at least to the US of A, with UFOs after 1991.
Thereafter the front brakes on all North American V8s (to 1994) were the
same as on the S-cars, which weigh a bit less. They stop OK unless you're
in a situation, like long mountain downhills, where you're riding the
brakes or if you're in a place you can drive at speeds exceeding 100 and
have to slow down repeatedly. The UFOs performed better under those
circumstances. Were European V8s supplied with UFOs past 1991?
