I have noticed some cars have a look about them on entry, where the body looks like its trying to left up and over the RR tire. Kinda like a pole vault, and the connection point to the ground is outside the RR tire aways, say 6 ft or so. Does anyone follow me on that?

Anyway, these cars i noticed are loose on entry, and always fight it. I think its a J Bar thing, to much angle, or Pinion side to high, but i would like to hear some other opinions on it.

I'd say, the j bar is lifting the whole car, and the front is controlling any roll.
All weight is on the pivot point on the pinion.

Either braking the car loose, or the stop at topped suspension shaking car loose.

As does the decoupled 4 link system with extreme trailing link angle.. Luckily Hoosier makes us a floppy enough tire to make up for our lack of emphasis on working suspensions
