Default Upside down car!?

Do you guys want to hear a sad thing? As you may know of, the typical F1 racing car and the Saleen S7 are the only cars that CAN, CAN, CAN go upside down once fast enough. I found somewhere that all the F1 needs is 100 mph. Now, considering that I have SEEN this done by an F1 on the Speed channal (thats right, NATIONAL TELEVISION!) and last time I checked they arent media twits that lie through their teeth, and yet I get laughed by people to my face saying its "impossible" or "you cant create that much down force". Who has been passing out the stupid pills again? Would someone please help me find some detailed information on this? A video would be even better. I have a $100 bet on this and Im so confident that I will win it, since I have seen the damn video of this a car doing it before. I am just annoyed and frustrated on how people can be stupid and not think logically. You'd think, We will be going to mars in a few years and we have yet to have a car that can drive upside down? Give me a break!
