- Thrust Output: How quickly the craft can accelerate to overcome it's mass, and how also a factor of how well it can retain it's speed while turning
- Cornering Stability: How sharply the craft can steer without use of the braking systems, and a factor to how well it can retain it's speed while turning
- Shield Tension: The lifespan of a craft's shielding; shields can be recovered by absorbing pickups, using leech beams, etcetera.
- Armor Integrity: How much further punishment the ship can take once it's shields are gone; can only be restored with repair kits or at pit lanes
- Mass: How resistant a craft is to being slowed down by weapons and collisions
- Downforce: How easily the craft can keep it's "grip" on the track (unless you pitch the nose up, which eliminates most of this downforce)
- Aerodynamics: How much speed and control the craft retains while in the air
- Braking Force: How much speed the craft retains while using the airbrakes
Just my two cents.
