Stiff front end, soft rear end. Lots of weight transfer to the rear coupled with plenty of power lifts the inside front wheel on the exit to corners. Used to be a common sight in saloon car racing, RX3s used to do it really well.

You can get the opposite effect on front wheel drive cars. I club raced a Mini years ago and it used to lift the inside rear wheel on the way into corners. A friend following reckoned it'd get 4" off the ground some times.

Cheers
