That’s just about 3 G’s in acceleration……. They built a vacuum pressure system on the thing that nearly doubles the down force on the wheels.

Check this video out...it has to do with miniature robots solving mazes as quickly as possible autonomously. However, towards the end they have a segment on speed advances made by, essentially, sucking the car to the ground.
Interesting stuff all around.

But one does it with 50 gallons of fuel and two $5,000 tires, the other one with three 9 volt batteries, lol.
