Stiff suspension? No sway bars?

So I've noticed that the new McLaren has extremely stiff suspension but doesn't run any sort of anti-sway bars. This makes for a truely independent suspension and an amazing ride quality with "the ride quality of a Rolls Royce".

My question is, has anyone thought of doing this on a boxster? Coil-Overs destroy your ride quality when set on any sort of stiff setting and if set to stiff, you just understeer terribly....

But what if you had extremely stiff suspension and removed the sway bars? The stiff springs prevent you from any sort of body roll, and without the sway bars (especially the front), you shouldn't have as much understeer.

I honestly don't think this will save you're ride quality but curious if it will actually increase performance.

Just looking for thoughts. Maybe I'm forgetting something obvious.... But some one should try it :P. I know theres a BMW E46 M3 SCCA winner (in some prepared class) that runs no sway bars! So I know it can be done properly! Just looking for thoughts! Not to be destoryed with verbal abuse :P
