[V8] Audi V8 US version facts

[cobram at juno.com]

The reason for the G60 retrofit was because the UFO's would warp,
sometimes enough to vibrate the steering wheel out of the drivers hands. 
This is unacceptable for a luxury car which cost 5X what a regular car
cost.  Changing the disks under warranty was getting expensive, so Audi
opted for a permanent fix.  Original buyers in Euroland and elsewhere may
also have been offered the G60 retrofit, there was a lister from London a
while back with a LHD V8 that had been retrofit by the dealer.

Plenty of them were driven over 100MPH regularly, otherwise, what's the
point?  ;-)
