I need a website that shows downforce generated by cars. Even different sites that talk about specific cars is fine, but I need like ten different cars and how many pounds at what speeds. Thanks.

Here's an interesting bit of trivia. A Formula 1 car (I hope you watch this sport) is so light and has sooo much downforce that it can drive upside down when they drive above 80mph (130 km/h). Indy cars achieve the same upside-down affect at above 125 mph (190 km/h). Its true, take a look at my source below! And give me best answer for one of the best bits of trivia known to man or woman.

Not all car's generate negative lift. If the distance air travels under the car is longer turbulence than over the top there is lift SEE WING in the winkipedia. In the sixty's cars got very light over 100 miles an hour. Jaguar XKE at 90 miles an hour almost flew. VW beetle at less than 15 seconds in the 1/4 mile did the ground loop.
