Why does the mass location not make any difference? Would the car be as likely to tip in cross winds if the mass was concentrated 100 feet in the air? Maybe resistance to sliding, turning or being a weather vane is related to total mass but I don't understand how the mass being lower wouldn't improve crosswind tipping resistance.
If the mass was infinitely high it would be an inverted pendulum and any breeze would topple it over.
