it might, tony- it's a dry sump system with eight (thats right, eight) scavenge pumps placed throughout the engine. . . . even on the heads. . . . but i wonder how the fuel is pumped- if the pump is on the bottom of the tank like a street car, then obviously that would be a problem. . .. and how long can someone drive upside down? a minute? two? humans dont make any downforce. lol.
and just to be a total prick, there is a difference between downforce and suction .. . . . the effect may be generally the same, but the cause is very different.
Yea but humans cant drive upside why? Because of the blood loss or the overflow of pressure on the head due to blood?
Fighter Pilot theory I would say, get em a G suit and ahh make it work in kinda the exact opposite effect and instead of maknig sure the blood is not lost from the head when going into max g's, make sure it stays within both regions of the body somewhat in order to make sure conciousness is kept and to make sure body parts dont start to numb.
I mean how long would ya wanna go? I just wanna see one drive upside for any period of time.Hell 5 seconds would be a hell of a long time at the rate of speed they generate anyway.
1 or 2 minutes would be like miles upon miles of upside road to get it to stay there upside down at that high speed.
