i doubt its open diff. looks to be a 2 way. if you can do that with an open..then damn you would be riding on perfect alignment, stiffest suspension, and beautiful weight transfer. =)

I was paying attention to the rear tires and it seemed like he was only smoking one tire.

well your in virginia so i dont know, but in cali we have streets of williow, or buttonwillow, and there are many drift events there, i think they closed the road course for drifting because stupid people that have no track etiquette dont slow down wen they go off track, they just bring dirt back on and cause the track to lose the edges. boo! well, at least we can still enjoy a good road course for grip and learning purposes though, and leave the drifting to the go kart tracks =)

The second link is also linked from planetsoarer.com. Not drifting. Videos were made to show how the suspenion works on an Active Suspension Soarer. He did get the rear out a tiny bit though on one I believe. If you go back and view the second link again you can see how level the car stays. Not a stiff suspension, but a computer controlled hydrolic (I believe) system that was stock.
