Hahaha, no more body roll. Puts a new twist on autocross lmao

I liked the jumping, that was sweet

Too bad it's so frame dependent, and wouldn't work very well with an engine of any size/power.

It'll be the next Honda trend.

Lets see... rediculasly simple/common frame... small, weak engine... Yeah, It'll do fine in a Honda. =)

Well, because the frame has to be exactly where that system needs it to be. It wouldn't work on my frame, and I wouldn't change my frame to make it work on my frame. Lexus has... pretty much the same frame as any other car of it's class, and that goes for all of it's classes.

Or, if you were talking specifically about engines, an engine does alot to a car. If it were a large engine in a small car, such as my setup, this system would probably cause problems. For one, it'd greatly reduce traction (and therefore performance, efficiency, etc), and could cause more serious problems when the engine goes to lift the front wheels off the ground.

I'm sure it'll eventually evolve into something more versatile.

why would it reduce traction?  if anything shouldnt it INCREASE traction since the articulation of the suspension is much faster?

Improper weight transfer. Again, a powerful engine does alot to a car, something alot of people aren't accustomed to these days.
