There's a lot that goes into making suspension work. Bushings, valving, angles, materials, ride height, target ride quality, handling bumps vs smooth, straight line acceleration, downforce, weight, cost, active vs passive roll bars, rear wheel steering, active vs passive valving, what parts of valving can be adjusted actively, tire grip, target usage, and so on and so on.

The specific implementation matters far more than the underlying suspension type.

And when it comes to going fast, the driver matters far more than the implementation or the underlying suspension type.

I've had plenty of fun on torsion rear suspension.

In Formula 1, the aerodynamics of individual suspension bits matters quite a bit.

Off road, you might want something else.
