Yep balance.
A new acreage sub development between my property & the main road has these dinky little traffic calmer roundabouts. They are only 2" high as you have to drive over them in anything bigger than about a 2 ton truck.
They are great fun in a sports car as you flick the car right, left, then right again. In my Mercury Capri I can flick through them at 40, but the thing is all over the place by the third change of direction. It really scares passengers.
In my much modified TR8, I can flick through at 45, but it is starting to jack up at the rear end & get a bit unbalanced by the third change of direction. Passengers look a bit uncomfortable.
In the S2000 I can flick at a similar speed, 45 or a bit higher & the the thing is so balanced & unruffled that passengers don't even notice you've done it.
