"I don't think you can make a car heavy enough not to go flying if air gets underneith at these speeds. And besides, the goal is low mass moreso than low weight, at speeds the aerodynamics push the thing down so hard they could drive upside down drive on the roof of a tunnel."

I hear so many people say this.. when are they actually going to test driving upside down in one of these?? I would kill to see a car drive upside down.

EDIT: If he would have landed that and kept going..
Also, BNR32, what car is that in your sig?? I like the colors a lot.

Maserati MC 12. It's basically an Enzo's guts in a Maserati shell.

Actually, the car in his sig looks like the racing version based on the road car.

yea, when the hell are they going to attempt driving a car that is said to have enough down force to drive upside.....upside down? I guess the way they would do it is by creating a very very very long straight away that allows the car to get up to maximum speed and then near the end of the straight they would add a gentle cork screw that the car would start to drive up until it was eventually upside down in a tunnel. Make sense?

The MC12 is so sick. While in Vegas last weekend, we had one next to us while driving down the strip.
