yeah it's definitely possible, the jackass guys do it on skateboards. It just takes enough speed.
I just don't believe this one cause the firefighter crap. |

F1 cars weigh scat nothing and create twice as much downforce as they weigh. Almost impossible in a production vehicle due to packaging and safety concerns, BUT using momentum to carry your CG thru the upside down part of the roll is possible. You just have to work out about how many Gs it would take to hold it to the top for the length needed to complete your roll...

Yea, people do it on motorcycles in a ball where there is no "down force", just momentum. I've seen skateboards, motorcycles, bicycles, hot wheels
 , etc achieve this same feat...why not a car?

also lets not forget unless this was a tunnel they built for this purpose, nowhere have i ever seen a parfectly cylindrical tunnel where this can be done. there are lighting fixtures, safety rails etc etc etc in the way.
