Will having the driver's window down while accelerating hard make a difference to the 0-60/ 0-80 times?

how much is acceleration affected?

take the windscreen and rear window out - then buy a helmut like Chris Boardman in the Bike racing thing, remove all headrests and your cigerette lighter - should all even out and save weight

It'll start affecting you as you go quicker due to airflow. Not an issue under about 50 though at a guess?

1.85 * 1.175 = easier way to work out VAT-inclusive price!
