You loose out too much having a windscreen fitted to this type of car, the wind buffeting is worse with a windscreen fitted than with simple aero screens. It's also like trying to push a door through the air as the screen tends to be quite upright and acts like a sail.

I certainly don't think power will be an issue in yours mate, you may need the extra stopping power!
