[V8] A small quiz for the V8 inclined

I actually thought about putting a switch on the floor under the accelerator 
instead of replacing the cable on mine if it ever went bad. Thankfully, it 
never did.

But, I'm thinking that would be a much easier than replacing the whole 
throttle cable, which is where the factory full throttle switch is built 
into. And, you wouldn't have to pay for the new one through Audi as well.

The hardest part of it would be pulling the wires out of the factory 
location to hook them to the new switch.
