Not rolling over, just tippy. With the mods I made, the car keeps all the tires down better, which prevents wheelspin on the inside tires. The maximum cornering speed (lateral acceleration) is increased due to the reduced weight transfer.

The result is similar to driving a 200mm pan car on high-grip carpet, then swapping over to a 235mm car. They both get around the track okay, but the 235mm car is simply faster due to the increased stability in the corners.
