That's an awful lot of tire on that vette for stock IRS and suspension.
PS yes I know that grand am has leaf springs, but wheel-hop is wheel hop.
EDIT not sure what happened to the first vid but it's back.
I thought it was a Pontiac, but Buick sounds good.

Shedding some light on the Buick - that is a "G" body car - it utilizes a triangulated 4-link rear suspension that goes all the way back 1964 / chevelle platform. It's really very good until you plop a lot of torque. The factory boxes the lower control arms to help with this - but sometimes it's not enough.
