If this is a guessing game(which I don't see how it could be anyhting
else)... mine would be that the car woud be a negative 15mph faster as
there's no longer a tear shape to the top of it(like comparing a ball and a
brick?). In other words, I don't think the the loss of frontal area would
overcome the drag created.

the top up. If you reduce the frontal area by approx 1200 sq in by removing
the top and windshield and putting a tonneau over the open cockpit, how much
faster will the car be with everything else remaining the same?
