The reason they can't keep the outside rear tire on the ground while cornering is that those little SCCA or Grand Am race cars or w/e use such extremely high spring rates so they corner flat but there is almost no travel. IE, a street car probably uses between a 250 and 450 lbs/in spring rate, while a race car can use somewhere around 1000 if the engineers deem it necessary. It is just how much it compresses & doesn't compress.
