Yes, I too dislike stance.
And I don't understand how the way you set up your car to perform involves no naste, yet drifting, grip, time-attack, rally, gymkhana, rallycross, endurance, sprints, drag, monster truck, mudder, rock crawler, baja and offroader are all the different tastes of performance setups.
Performance isn't just hidden under the bonnet, it's also what visually expresses a car, especially when it comes to different uses of aerodynamics, tyres, brakes, exhausts & suspension, which is too a performance upgrade, same goes for blower attachments for superchargers and so on and so fourth.
I'm pretty sure the point I'm making is now pretty obvious.
