Negative, the top of the car is curved more than the bottom, just like an airplane wing. bernoulli's principle states that air moving over the car will be moving faster, which is why cars at high speeds need spoilers to produce downforce, because around 150 mph, planes take off, and so will cars unless they're being pushed down. An air intake at the top of the car will get air that is moving faster. Whether that will translate into performance gains, most likely.
