Default Which car...

Which modern STOCK car has the most downforce?

I know the Enzo has a maximum of 775 kg at 296 km/h (1709 lb. at 185 mph). How about the Carrera GT, McLaren F1, S7,.........

well if you d/l the video that was posted recently (a few weeks ago i believe) on racingflix.com about the S7. Steve Saleen claims that at 160 mph there is enough downforce in which the car can be driven upsidown. check out the vid. so i would go with the S7 but i dont know any specs on the other cars so.....

Im not saying its not true but that would mean the suspension system would have to be supporting atleast twice the cars weight.
