Not sure what your point is anyway; body roll is not an indication of performance or grip, just suspension movement. The Lotus Elise has a ton of body roll with the standard suspension, way more than the Mk6 GTI.

Body roll is an indication of chassis rigidity, which does indicate handling performance.
Body roll means the chassis is flexing, which means the weight is transferring to one side, which means you have reduced traction on 2 of your wheels in a turn.
