The question should be..Who will stop the car after it rolls off the rollers? You never said there was someone in the driver seat. h:

good answer.

Whether the wheels are spinning at 4000rpm or not turning, whether the rollers are locked/unlocked it will be like pushing the car over a round speedbump

Of course it will come off....Even if the wheels were locked (brake or whatever) It could STILL be pushed off the dyno. All that is required for motion f/ a stand still is enough force to overcome inertia and friction.

what was the answer to that question? I'm guessing yes...the wheels would just spin twice as fast?

ground speed has nothing to do w/ an airplane taking off....it has to do w/ air speed, and in turn, lift. If you create great enough air speed to create lift, the plane could be standing still. Bernoulli's principle dictates these rules of fluid dynamics.
