That is so that they can better conform to the road. You want it to

In the Alfa Spider's case, that can be easily fixed. International
Auto Parts sells a subframe for the 70-93 spider that stiffens the
chassis substantially.
Also it is said someone complained the brakes on a Ferrari were not
up to
snuff and EF replied: cars are made for going, not stopping.
that's a mis-attribution. Enzo Ferrqri didn't say that, Ettore Bugatti
said that in the 1920's when a customer complained that his Bugatti's
brakes required too much pedal pressure to stop effectively.
