The compromise is a harsher ride but even Volvo lowered their rally/race cars so there must be some advantages, whether we percieve them or not.

Well I understand about lowering the centre of mass of course Dave, but my point was not that one; it was that the 240 is a tall and heavy lump, if one wanted a motor car to go round corners quickly there would be any number of far better models to do that (without needing lowering).
