You could rent an electric scissor lift, hot rod it and test the aerodynamics at different heights.
I saw a crane truck that had hydraulic outriggers that extended out wider and then extended down lifting the crane truck off the ground. With a bigger wheeled version of that the car could park right over other cars lessening parking lot congestion.
Why weren't the land speed record vehicles jacked up at all? They used jet engines, why not weld on some landing gear?
A very skinny light tandem vehicle lifted would probably be no more likely to tip over than an suv of the same wheel base. Less likely if it lowered itself on the turns, more less likely if it lowered and tilted itself on the turns. I want to see someone build or simulate this thing.
