The suspension of the car does play a part here. They are designed to
keep all four wheels on the ground, and as flat as possible, when going
through a corner. If the weight of the car started shifting around every
time you moved the center of mass on the interior or went into a banked
corner just a bit too fast, the car would not be very stable at all.
