its just cuz ur using some of the power from the electricalt system, battery etc. to accomplish that and my car does it too especially when my bass hits from my subs

could be its using power from the alternator and that robs horespower.  or it could be that since your putting your windows up theres less drag so it doesnt need as much power to go the same speed

uh wouldnt the revs go up if that was true?

as long as it's not only somethin with my car i'm not gunna sweat it, i just wont roll up my windows in the heat of a race... unless they are spitting at me... oh, one time i spit on this guy while driving, on accident, it was a huge lugee too, went through his open window and I know it hit his face... i felt so bad... if your out there Mr. Spitface, I'm so sorry!!!

youll have less drag street racing with your windows up.  you dont see top speed runs with open windows or drag races with open windows either
