A top fuel car will squat a little, not nearly as much as a street car but the chassis will flex more than anything. At rest their pretty straight but under load they bow upwards. Its pretty crazy to see in person!

Just give it up man, you aren't applying physics correctly here, 2" sidewall means the car needs to squat.
