Nope. I think we have the same idea of showroom stock alright. My point is that even though setting the M button up to go max on everything is easier to do it is still no more showroom stock than having to physically turn some screws to carry out available adjustments on a car. It's just a lazier way to do it is all.

Showroom stock for an M3 is throttle at least aggressive, shocks at softest and steering at lightest.
Showroom stock for a GT-R is for road driving.

My point was that making adjustments that are available on a showroom stock car is not cheating. It's using available features. The fact that it requires more physical effort to actually do it doesn't change the fact that it's available to everyone with the car.
