When Porsche (factory team Joest I think?) had the 968 TRS at the Le Mans 24h, they noticed that about three hours into the race they were losing about 15mph of top end on the Mulsanne straight. The team couldn't figure it out, they looked at everything. They finally realized that it was caused by the headlights in the up position.
Another sort of related story. A Dutchman named Oskar de Kiefte made a backwards driving 924 to prove his theory that the aerodynamics were better driving backwards, so maybe that 968TRS missed a trick
