If I have both the driver and passenger windows down by not the back window does that make the car struggle more? Do u lose speed? I always wonder that with all the air hitting it it would slow u down...again it's a weird question

anyone else has that theory?

it's proven that over 60-65mph it creates drag with any car with the windows down completely. If you have a weak d-series, chances are you might actually feel the car being slower, though it's most likely your imagination.

theoretically I'm sure it's not best for aerodynamics to run like that, since you have the rear window up, it basically makes an air pocket inside the car. Whenever I had my del Sols, I almost always had the rear window down, rain or shine. I tried running my car different ways at the strip, once with all windows up and top on, once with side windows up and top off and back window down, once with top off all windows down. On a GSR powered del Sol, it didn't make any difference. My times were all pretty consistent, and I didn't notice any major differences with the top on/off, window up/down combinations, etc.

It definitely creates more drag and I am sure it will slow the car down.
