Nope!

But since it will create more than 2800 pounds of downforce, it can be driven upside down.

you know what's funny, the canadian autox champ drive a car that has more downforce than the car weighs, so theoretically, he COULD drive upside down...pretty crazy stuff if you ask me.. :P

That car is insane, I was lucky enough to watch it pull a 360 right in front of me while I was ******** cones at our car clubs annual street solo.

I doubt that's photoshop. If it is, they took the time to insert the reflections of the vertical supports on the rear decklid.

It says that you are a spinner, and on top of that, RHD means Right Hand Drive. Further helping the argument that it is in Japan .

Ok, I knew RHD would be something simple. Bout time I got that Exhaust Leak off my status. I guess it changes with the amount of post.

Talking Fly, Sure
That's what I was thinking. You might get it to fly, it's the landing that's kind of a bitch.
