Top off buffeting

How is the wind with the top off the coupe. Windows up or down make a difference?

Sorry, coming from a C6Z here. A baseball cap stayed on fine at 70. The new car is supposed to have better air flow, it would seem that would help. It's far better than my wife's Mini vert, that's all I've got.

We drove for about an hour windows up and my wife's hair didn't look mussed at all. She said the back was tangled....I couldn't tell. Average speed around 65 with a few sprints faster....okay....more than a few sprints.

Have to add....this car is solid even without the roof. No cowl shake at all!

Took about a 40 mile drive with the top off with the wife and she didn't mind it...windows were up and this was from 0 to highway speeds.

The car felt very solid. I really love the C7
