I can adjust my driving with power upgrades to the extent I want power upgrades.

In this car I want neutral handling.. square setups are ideal for that. Until people are pushing serious power (which the majority in here won't be doing, regardless of how much people like to talk about it ) few people will need or want a lot more traction in the back.

Some are already concerned about the rear having too much traction thanks to the EVO review

Granted you aren't talking anything crazy with 8/9 setups and I'm probably biased more towards those who will be using the car for competition/track days.
