Maybe it will help with top speed.
I'm wondering if a tighter suspension would help keep the front wheels down.

That may be the case for takeoff from standstill, accelerating out of tight turns, or in the rain. But as soon as the car has forward momentum with no hard directional changes, front-end grip is no problem at all. So, more power from the e-motor would further improve passing power, for instance.
I'm wondering if a rigged e-motor would also have increased regen. Any electrical engineers out there?
Someone would really need to know what they're doing, though. Wouldn't want to start a fire because too much current is drawn through the wires.
