i looked at some of the extremely old early devblog posts, and in the one for the covet, gabe said it could "tripod on command" due to the suspension it can't now so i removed the front sway bar and put on an extremely stiff rear sway bar, gave it bigger wheels and sport tires, and now it does this
It can definitely still tripod, maybe not as noticeable as before. I have several configs that lift a rear wheel during hard cornering. What you want to do is install a stiffer sway bar at the back and a softer one at the front (eg race rear + gtz front) OR run the car on slicks with really stiff suspension overall. The first gen pessima also tripods when running on slicks, I think.
