Everyone is entitled to their opinion, people around here have a tendency to get butthurt when they hear mine because it goes against the sheep mentality.
Nonetheless, let's not clutter up this thread with arguing. If you have an issue with me or my posting, feel free to PM me or seek moderator assistance.

You're free to be entitled to your own opinion, but there's no need to be condescending when expressing dislike towards someone's car like you were in your post.
Seems to be a common pattern in your posts and makes you look like a douche.

2014 we have some big plans for the car in terms of ICE and new performance mods. Cody over at LoveFab is working on a custom header setup with HFC's so this car will finally get some "roar" to go with the looks. The current setup is the biggest drawback on the car, just too quiet for such a fun toy.
On a side note, we picked up a R8 v10 which has joined the stable and we recently took some fun pictures to show how the two cars are both similar but vastly different.
The obvious ones we won't point out but after owning both cars for a while and driving them back to back on the twisties we found some unique traits about these two cars.
But for now here's a few quick snapshots, enjoy!
The NSX is the nimble, graceful, soft spoken gymnast that knows how to keep things fun and treats the driver with instant response, raw exhaust note, amazing steering, and a steering feel that is tough to match. I do admit the 2002+ NSX steering has lost some of it's rawness appeal because of the power assist. I love my buddies 94 NSX with no power steering. It's more of pain to drive around town but feels better at speed.
The R8 v10 is a true power house. It masks speed and is capable of incredible acceleration if the driver demands it. Each gear clicks into place and the revs climb very speed. Driven at slower speeds, it almost feels like a normal Audi. Interior is comfortable and the suspension is quite soft compared to my last GT3 which was bone-jarring and always reminds the driver you are piloting a race car. You can take the Audi to Target, buy groceries and even hit Costco if you don't buy too much bottled water. The dual personalities is what makes the R8 everything the modern NSX should be. Almost every car in our stable has been modded but I dare say the R8 is one car I can drive in stock form and be plenty happy. The stance is not too low but sits quite nice. I can clear most garage entry ways and speed bumps. Best of all this is a car I can enjoy with my kids since the front seat is capable of accepting a baby seat!
IF you guys have any questions I'd be happy to answer or if you want to see a specific angle I missed here, just ask!
Let's start with a fun picture, both cars have a lot of doors to open but in this round the NSX wins!
Both mid-engine cars, the powerplants of choice are the V6 from Honda and v10 from Audi:
Butt to butt, the NSX sits lower but this makes it the harder one to drive around town:
