[QUOTE="CincyFordman, post: 3169038, member: 39176"] Kind of weird you asked that question. I work for a car dealer and the Saleen rep was here today talking about that stuff. So here how it was explained to me. The design of the S7 is for one thing and just one thing only - to move air around the car as fast as the air would move and to create downforce. Apparently there is so much down force created that there is literally suction to the pavement. Think hot a toy hot wheels track when you speed the toy car fast enough to make it go through the loop. Basically the S7 has enough downforce using all the scoops and aerodynamics that at about 160mph this car (in theory) drive upside down. But who is going to build a paved road upside down to prove it. But in computer studies it is possible. Hope this helps. :beer: [/QUOTE]
