An autox car is a higher natural frequency in its suspension so it can change directions more often. So that means stiffer springs (to a point) and lighter weights.

If you had the sword from the stone in your hand and needed to move it faster, you could make it lighter (lighter wheels and tires- less unsprung weight), or make your arms stronger (springs/shocks/sways).

The hard part is measuring all that crap.
All that is common knowledge, but why are we talking about it here?
