When I cut the engine, I drop the windows IF I want to slow down more- Bugatti style! (Though they use an actual spoiler, which has approximately the same braking power of a Ford Fiesta at high speeds lol. Benz has been doing it, and I know others have, too.)

If it's real hot, I crank up the air (fan) when I cut the engine, too.
