Without making any guesses on the drag, I think your handling will be pretty squirrelly. I'm visualizing it without any real aero-ducation, but I think the air flow off the bottom of the car will be quite significantly altered relative to the air flow over the car. Induced lift since the low pressure zone will be close to the top of the vehicle and farther from the bottom?

But then again, I'm pretty clueless.
