I'm not familiar with actual data on this, but phrases/experiences like the "steering got light" when going fast, and seat of the pants experiences going fast on a secondary highway with rolling hills feeling the car lift like a roller coaster ride is conformation enough for me.

The physics is there, the automobile will react to those forces be they F = ma in the vertical or aerodynamic.
