Of course is the S8 with manual gearbox a perfect car to drive on the race track with otherwise I wouldn't drive my RS8 on the race track all the time.
Unfortunately I have both sunroof and a towbar on my car, I have removed the rear seat and changed the front seats for easier race seats then I removed the mats, spare wheel and everything loose in the car.
But I still have the stereo, double glazing and also twin turbo, twin intercoolers, big oil coolers and more.
My weight with full fuel tank and me in the car is:
Total: 1765kg
Front: 1083kg
Rear : 682kg
I have a friend with A8 with sunroof but No towbar, he have 6spd manual gearbox and rear mounted turbo he have no stereo and have taken away more parts than me, he have this weight with full fuel tank but without him in the car:
Total: 1591kg
Front: 971kg
Rear: 620kg
