At the end of the day though, for 99.9% of us, isn't it true that performance=feel? If you aren't getting paid to drive the car, lap times are just as irrelevant as anything else. Some people enjoy them as a measure, while others enjoy how the car behaves in a set of s-curves on their daily commute. I think the feeling the car brings you is the performance, to a great extent.
From another angle, performance is also as specific to the driver and the conditions, regardless of whether we're talking about feel or a lap time. A car could be brilliant on one track and hot trash on another with the same set of mods, and the same applies to feel on one set of streets vs another.
All that to say, I don't have a problem with semi-scientific subjective analyses, because if you dig deep enough, that's all we really have in any case.
