    I'd really like to see it happen, though!

    I think the OP has been watching slalom tests where the car
    is deliberately upset and may *appear* to lift the outside
    tire at some point in the transition....

    An afternoon spent watching (or volunteering) at an autocross is worth
    more than a thousand words for explaining to people how suspension
    works. Which brings me to my next point. Solid-rear-axle cars can do
    surprisingly well autocrossing, as they never lift the inside wheel.
    As other posters have said, in this modern era tuning and configuration
    can have a much greater effect than the basic layout of the suspension,
    and tires are perhaps most important of all.

  2. D'you mean A-604 or A-670? There's no such thing as A-607.

    That is patently silly!
    I'm scratching my head. The INSIDE wheel lifts, not the outside!
    Nope, I'm referring to the rear axle on rear-drive cars, same as the
    topic was originally.

    You have to have a differential on the driven axle, whether or not its
    indpendently suspended. And since we're talking REAR axles on REAR-drive
    cars, there is by definition a differential involved.

    Sorry, A-604. Brain doesn't work very well at 7 a.m. ;)
