If it's a rolling race, it's not far fetched to lose if the car isn't tuned. I'd think you should have won, but 550 lbs is a lot of weight vs. a lighter EVO.
T-tops out should not make that much difference..

I actually disagree, at higher speeds it will create excess drag. Meaning 80+ MPH.

Besides you weighing 550lbs I'm pretty sure you're retarded, high, and/or drunk.

Yes it does slow you down. Waaaaaaay down. The faster you go the more wind/drag is caught. I raced someone in an evo actually. They beat me the first time when I had windows down and T-Tops off. Second race I put T-Tops on and closed windows, then I pulled on them.

But I still think you missed the day of school when the written English language was taught.
I said no in the poll because you end your post asking if you should have pulled on the evo.
Yes to the question if T-tops off slow you down. It's like pulling an open parachute.
