In reference to the "body oscillations"......

Probably turbulence or even body lift from all the air passing under the
car.

Wonder if Audi ever wind tunnel tested the V8 (or any model) for
reactions/turbulence "at speed"?????
That would be a fun senior project in college! Any young pups out there in
the scholastic world want to give it a shot? Granted you would have to use
a model rather than the real thing, so the data wouldn't be 100% accurate,
but it would still be interesting.
