It would seem,that as long as you did not totally lift off in a turn.Then it would not roll,jacking seems only to occur if you go in to hot, and lift and turn.That seems like a recipe to roll on any car.
A corvair seems to be fine,looking at vw stuff..Only if you lift,and turn hard you will A: spin,B roll maybe.I would think that a stiffer torsion bar upgrade in the rear, would then help a lot in the jacking department.Anyhow,that is simply from what i have gathered so far.The mercedes gull wing had swing axle,so did the old triumph spitfire..And no one spoke up about them..I suppose if chevy did a little more homework,on the car i am sure it could have been great,my father started on bugs then went to a corvair..Similar cars it would seem,I used to ride in it with my older sister.
