OK, review will be coming in chunks. I wont be talking about the nav, radio, interior controls .... as those always take a while before you know whether or not you love them or hate them, on to the driving (what everyone cares about anyway).
First off, I am extremely glad that my RS7 is massively modified because if it were stock still, it would be boring and disappointing to get into after driving the NSX.
Last night I had the chance to rip around route 143 @ around midnight and hit 100+ several time, topped out @ 130. Getting up to those speeds and driving feel at those speeds felt like I was part of the car. Totally natural and totally in control. Acceleration is sport + does not feel like a turbo car, it feels like a magically light big V8. The tires are too new to really corner hard, ill wait a bit to really test that. Sport + is absolutely perfect for back road bombing. I tried track a few times and honestly, it is what it says it is, track mode. Regular sport mode was really nice yesterday when I was stuck in traffic. Sport + mode in heavy traffic is obnoxious. Quiet mode I absolutely guarantee will be the mode you show people to show them how quiet it is, and then you wont ever use it again.
Parking this thing is easy, way easier than I was expecting. Backing up is simple and I was backing into spaces within an hour of driving for the first time. The only time visibility suffers is when you need to look at about 4:30, which sucks because leaving my house I have a merge that requires this just down the road.
As far as the looks go, even better than I expected. 100% happy with the blue and it even looks amazing under street light.
Going to save the complaints for a bit, see which of them are legit and which are just adjusting to a new car.
Overall, very happy with the car although I am not sure I would say the same if I lived in a populated area. Out here I can drive a little crazy from time to time and it is an absolute blast in this car. If I lived in Boston I don't think I could handle being constantly constrained by traffic.

Let me know if you want to sell the take-offs.
I think I am going to keep them for at least a year or two on the off chance that a improved NSX becomes available. I will want to return to stock. <- say this way too much, return to stock stuff takes up half of my garage
