I have seen people drive on 2 wheels before in real life and i admit i really want to experience being in a vehicle driving on 2 wheels. In a closed track with helmets/safety equipment of course and an experienced driver.

No joke some of the people who can drive go up sideways are very young, some don't even have licenses and they already know how to do it.

^ Rear-wheel drive models are only available with automatic transmission, and come standard with a limited-slip rear differential
