I did a test with my drivers window up/down/up on three consecutive drag runs.
I posted these trap speeds:
1. window up - 108.14 MPH
2. window down - 107.68 MPH
3. window up - 108.69 MPH

All three runs were between 13.8-14 seconds

So the drag created by the windows does play a measureable role but I would only say by maybe 0-1.5 mph or so depending on if all the windows were down versus one or two.

These times of mine will be topped when I get my new engine project back together of course!
