I'm no physicist by any means, but it's kind of hard to say the height of a vehicle doesn't directly affect the CoG just based off personal observations alone. Ever see a lifted Camaro/El Camino/some other muscle car do a tight turn on 24's? It's scary enough just watching that, let alone being inside the damned thing. Drifters don't lower there cars just to ruin their body kits you know.
I know it's slightly off topic, but if you talk to anyone who (properly) lifts without the use of steroids, they can tell you all about how the height of a person changes the CoG of the body and thus makes lifting heavier objects easier or difficult depending on height.
