the real question is this....

why does the road car have so much pitch, dive, and roll? Many other softly sprung cars i've driven, and been in don't do nearly as much as what is evident in the video... in fact, its often nearly flat cornering, even in the 1992 Vector W8
It's was build for english b road's and they are full potholes and other things.
And it's has not anti rollbar fitted so that explains the roll.

then why are every other sportscar fited with a anti sway bar, and traverse those brittish b-roads with great ease? the amounts shown are similar to say.... something like a Jaguar S, or something [/unscientific comparison]

still waiting for tforth's reasons why the W8 doesn't belong in the group of

Vector W8
Mclaren F1
Jaguar XJ220
Ferrari F40
Bugatti EB110



and why is it 'cool' that it has so much pitch/dive/roll ?
