it's all good.. if it was a back wheel he'd be lifting a drive wheel and then no power if he has an open diff

Yea, Porsches do that all the time. I remember one St. LAC regional there were twp 911's and an Opel GT all lifting their inside front wheels. Road & Track had a picture a 911 doing that on a road course for their cover a few years back.

I have seen a few miatas do that recently. I had a picture of my mustang doing that at a prosolo back in the day. Its not as common as the FWD cars but it happens.

I also know that I definately lifted a REAR this weekend! A drive-wheel on a Miata!

I could not tell this weekend, to much rain and the lot would drop away in some places making it tough to see. I know I have a picture of S.Thong with a front tire up at a PITL event. As for your rear the only time I remember it coming up was at a hotel near Detroit :eek: ... ummm but that's another story :o

Lifted my rear wheel couple months ago. Didn't think I could do that with a 3500lb car. :s

Geez, you young people act as if cars have always been front wheel drive. :cool: Lifting fronts on RWD cars used to be very common.
Cheers!

Nothing wrong with that. When the rear roll stiffness is low you have a nice rigid chassis the front inner lifts. See pic below.

My rwd drive corolla with its solid rear and unforgiving(ie: binds easy)4 link set-up lifts the inside rear all the time,mostly over rough stuff like the pic of the red civic.
