[V8] Audi S8

[Coleman, David]

Not heresy at all.  The S8 is good clean fun, though I found it isolates
the driver from the road a bit, relative to the more immediate feedback
one receives in a V8.

Not sure about the '01 or '02, but the '04 I've driven on past occasions
is dang fast, grips like a mofo, and still flies under the radar.  It
can incur big costs to keep up, but not really more than an A8, and snow
tires are a must in any accumulation.

Now if they could be had in a 6-speed manual, I think I'd own one
already.
