I don't know for sure, but I would say with the weight balance of a 4WD (forwards) running that much kick-up (not just caster) it would be GTi'ing like a beast! (lifting the inside rear going into the corner)

with a 2WD the weight it much further back so transfering the weight forward into the corner is normally a good thing.

just a little interweb engineer theory of mine

(to do with kick-up not caster - Id assume that extreme caster is a by-product of this)
