Motor Mythbusters
S01E10 Chop Top Van
In classic hot rod style, the crew investigates the theory that lowering a vehicle's roof can enhance its speed. They purchase a '70s Dodge van, trim 12 inches off the roof, and then put it to the test to determine if this alteration improves its performance on a quarter-mile track.
