So, after playing around with a few different sparrows, I find myself wondering at their hidden stats. Like any good racer, each sparrow has to have additional stats.
Acceleration, not boost. Stability, traction, air resistance, and other things like that.
I know I can't be the only one wondering and to that end, where they would hide these stats so we couldnt find them. They can't be universal because different sparrows have different handling quirks. At least the older ones.

Destiny was not designed as a racer. Sparrows were only give "race stats" retroactively so don't overthink the complexity of the system. All Legendary Sparrows basically break down into three different groups with very few exceptions. The rest is just cosmetics.
