it looks like this is going to be a more "straight line" kind of car, in any case, that car is going to transfer weight poorly. The suspension is designed to transfer weight and navigate irregularities in the road (bumps) a certain way, with a certain weight. All of this will be compromised. But really as long as you dont road race it or anything, you wont notice it.
