So far,no one has actually tested it and published the results.The closest thing would be a comparison of racing coupes,roadsters,and spyders.
*a sports car Coupe of Cd 0.50
*as a roadster might be Cd 0.75
*and as a spyder,Cd 0.42,with half bubble and head fairing
* and cleaned up with detail optimization,Cd 0.31,as I've seen at Darko.
I agree with CrippledRooster that the presence of a roof without glazings could be an aerodynamic torture chamber,because of pillars and roof camber and all the interference drag.
