Also, if I'm not mistaken. The Audi peddles are made to break away from factory in the event of a crash so your feet don't get crushed when you are forced into them.

pedal box????
The engine/gearbox have to come out anyway from this s8...and while it is out I ll get a friend to have a look....I will be incredibly surprised it there isnt a factory spec set of pedals that cant be fitted....and a huge shame if that is the main stumbling block.
I agree the automatic gearbox is a better luxury option in the s8, however I just like the idea of the control that manual gearboxes give combined with the comfort of luxury saloon. I would never dream of doing this to the Reffro's final edition S8....but if I m gona be pulling an engine/gearbox it gives me something to dream about....

From what i remember the D2 S8 Tipttonic box has a weight about 145kgs dry. A Manual gearbox prob less then half.. That alone is a good enough reason for me to go manual.. And the fact that Autobox'es are for grandparents
 it also reduces 0-60 with quite a bit.(found a webpage not long ago that i think stated 0.5 sec faster with manual?)But then my S8 is LHD so the clutch issue is less important. Can anyone confirm that the pedal plate(holding the pedals) is actually the same for LHD Automatic and Manual? from Etka that is what my eyes keep telling me Gøran: Wanna sell your LHD pedal Box?
