On the autobahn, places like spa etc maybe a few 10ths, but it's more about the cooling benefits than anything else. The scoop creates a big pressure build up behind the engine/rad which had a negative effect on air movement through the FMIC/Radiator... I too prefer the scoop for the look on the wr blue coloured cars like mine, but i know there are substantial cooling benefits to the reverse scoop/flat bonnet.
