I think it is helpful to recall some of those magazine reviews of old when discussing the driving characteristics of a Rolls Royce or Bentley (in the 1980's).
The author/reviewer would always remark about the car handling being incredible despite the massive weight involved, and excellent by any standard.
Today the modern F-150 probably the same weight of one of those old luxury cars, and a phenomenal ride too.
I suspect with the proper engineering and technology many laws of physics can be tamed.
Lotus Engineer is the world expert on this topic, and they said it can be done.
