I know it's not the point of the post (or thread), but my modified Gen 1 Insight is one of the most 'planted' cars at high speed I've ever driven. (And, as a new car road tester, I drove a lot of cars.)
I remain astonished at what downforce does to this aspect of car stability.
(As an example, my Insight makes my wife's W212 Mercedes feel like a bicycle in a strong, gusting crosswind.)
