The torques! The torques! 
BTW: he's got the rear suspension done right.
I'm surprised that windshield is staying in....
When 911's do that, they are applauded for being stiff.
That's not a twisting chassis, that's a rear suspension with good travel and a hugely stiff front swaybar.
Yeah if you look at the body and the left rear tire, that body is definitely not twisting.

Cage.

FTFY
Over-shooting that turn puts you in the grave, literally.
I was once the proud and frightened owner of a V8 Vega that would "oil can" under the passenger seat when you jumped on it. It was loud, it was consistent, and the brakes were over matched.

Doesn't a decent cage make anything respectably stiff?

Depends on who built and installed it.

That's why I said a decent cage, not just any old cage

I can only hope such hoonage takes place near my final resting place.
Me thinks someone just forgot to flip a switch...or maybe bumped it while sawing at the wheel. See any similarities here???

One of the rear trailing arms ripped out of the floor of my V8 Vega. I fab'd ladder bars, and attached them to steel plates I bolted into the floor under the seats. MUCH better traction, but eventually the doors didn't open so well.

Fixed it for you.
Its quite an advantage in autox to be able to drive over the cones...
In reply to Ranger50:
That's not a twisting chassis, that's what happens when you go to a torque arm IE a rear suspension that actually hooks up.

Quit trying to interject reality into my fantasy.

You mean this one :
On a more serious note, I have a feeling this thread could (should) turn into full on twisted chasis pics... (I just gave everyone fodder for the hotlink thread, and btw, why hasn't that thread description made it into the Wikipedia article on GRM website? - IT HAS THIS IS SOME TRIVIA FOR ALL THE NEW FOLKS )
Ranger -> GOOD THREAD MAN!
Good thing that sucker isn't using a torsen with one wheel nearly lifted.
Notice that those butterflys are not even fully open?

That's because the launch scared the crap out of him and he's already coming out of the throttle. With the drivers rear wheel just about off the ground, it's headed for the wall if he stays in it.
