right on
if you have so much grip from the tires for a given vehicle power and weight that you don't lose traction, then you might as well not care about any of this and lock up the suspension
if you're approaching a corner at 50kph because that's all you could accelerate at out of the box, and the tires can let you take the corner at that speed, then all this science is moot.
and old buddy of mind commented on the old Group B racers.. that ALL the cars were so capable that the actual road became the limiting factor to their speeds
