Not interested in invoking a conversation concerning suspenshion v no sunspenshion,, but, given the ever changing condition of the salt over the last decade, am interested to know of those vehicles that have had incidents, which had suspenshion, and which did,'t ??

Once you had suspension you could never have anything else.

My opinion(means noffin), If the make and model originaly came with suspension then it should be required.

I have no idea about what cars that have crashed had or didn't have.

It's a little difficult for me to imagine an original make or model of motor vehicle
that doesn't have suspension.  Can you name any?

The fastest race cars are not production based... they call that class special construction...
How's the imagination now... :huh:  :undecided:
Years ago when there was salt on the flats it could be smooth and flat, suspension was something that made building more complicated  :cheers:

Do you have a spaciffic vehicle in mind?
There's really too many variables to this question to point to one or the other being more desirable. Rigid or suspension types & geometry differences will create different results in different types of vehicles & speeds. In the current poor conditions, tire failure has become more of a factor as well.

Yes, there are many variables, and have no specific vehicle combination in mind,, just interested to know of all the vehicles that have wrecked in the last decade, which of them had suspension and which did'nt,,

Speed demon would be the most recent with suspension.
