in all reality, with the top down you create a worm hole in the time space continuum that fools around with the laws of physics and therefore goes faster than the top up.

Too hard to tell... it'll make difference but I don't think he can kill you. Too many factors to consider like driver skill, his mods (which unfortunately you couldn't ask), etc.

Don't think so - I'm thinking he might of had a turbo/supercharger - but not sure what difference that makes to times.

Top up vs top down is a 10 mph difference at the end of the front straight at Texas World Speedway for me. (Ie, 120mph vs 130mph.)
