Has anyone tested whether folding in side view mirrors resulted in a minimum of 2 tenths reduction in ET in the 1/4 mile, due to reducing the amount of drag that the car sees at speeds over 100 mph?

Iā€™d have to think youā€™d have to have some really big side view mirrors to shave off 2 tenthsā€¦! Like, aftermarket huge add on trailer towing side mirrors lolā€¦

Probably 2 hundredths at best. Maybe a bit more if you trap like 240+ mph lol

I used to pull my wipers off back in my Fox days! Now they are buried into the cowl, so I donā€™t bother.

I don't even take the spare tire out of the car. Certainly not taking off the mirrors.

I have a track day scheduled for June 23rd (1/8 mile), maybe I'll take it out. šŸ¤” Or just add some more boost via the boost controller. Lol

Take it ALL out!!!!!! Make it count. I donā€™t have a single penny in my pocket or in the car when I make a pass.
