Default Aerodynamics with top down

At speeds from say 80 upwards how significant is the drag from having the top down? My friend in a Z pulled on me more then I would have liked (on a closed course obviously ) and I was wondering how big of a factor having the top down was. I'm thinkin it has a much bigger effect than I previously thought...
