gillette vette guy

Hello,

I have a 14 Coupe and the majority of the 18000 miles has been with the top off.
Rarely drive it at night.....too many deer. I enjoy the coupe way more
with the top off then I ever did my 06 Vert. A lot less buffeting and
wind noise. Also unless it is a deluge, the rain blows right over at
Interstate speeds. An occasional drip around the top of the window
by the windshield but nothing major. When it is hot, I put the windows
up and turn the AC all the way up.

Couldn't be happier I bought a Coupe vs a Vert. Have a good one
all of you in Corvette land.

I don't believe it either, but I would enjoy hearing more about it???

I believe there are factors that make this a hard question. How tall you are makes a huge difference not only for vertical position of your head but also how close you sit to the windshield. the other thing is the wind speed and direction relative to the car. I am 6'4" so my head is high up and also as far back as possible, I experience buffeting all the time at speeds over about 55 to 60 and have to stuff some cotton in my left ear to keep the wind out of there. I notice a huge difference depending on the wind as well. That being said I have had the car up to 135 for a relatively extended period (about15 miles) with the top off and did not loose my cap, although I had it pulled down low over my eyes, but to say it was uncomfortably loud would be an understatement.
