Porsche951 fanatic:
Loosing a sunroof does create a little more drag, but the benefits of weight reduction, especially from up high on the car outweigh (no pun inteneded) the aerodynamic loss.
Without a sunroof in place, the center of weight is lowered, which equates to a little better handling. (A little here, a little there makes a world of a difference in autox) Also: ttop removed probably create more turbulance and a sunroof removed.

And for tall people, it does effect helmet clearance.

Amet: nice runs, great pictures! If you stiffen up your suspension a bit, you'll see some great improvements! I am jealous: autox season doesn't really start here (North East: NJ) until April...
