Can you believe that in this very "pretty, classy" non-flare, non-wing, non-black wheeled (not that there is anything wrong with that 
)"cute" C7, resides 460 HP? I keep the console Mode spinner set on Tour with the Display exhaust set on Sport. The exhaust is open all the time, idle to "get er done". Still in break-in period, but in our former C5 with "only" 345 HP, I never put the pedal all the way down. However, with the NPP exhaust open, "going through the gears" with the Paddle Shift, even maxing out at 2500 RPM for now, sounds like I am heading toward 150 instead of 45.
I'm waiting to get stopped by the local police, thinking that I am racing the car, based on the sound this car puts out. My question to the officer would be: "Have you ever seen Jessica Rabbit in the "Roger Rabbit" movie where she says: "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way".
Well same thing here officer: "I'm not going fast, I just sound that way"...Bob

Mercy my drop top brothers, and sisters. It's been raining so much here in the southeast it's been quite difficult to enjoy the car. I can't even imagine how hard it would be to put the thing in storage for several months. I'm fairly sure I would need copious amounts of therapy followed by some type of mind altering pharmaceuticals.

Top won't go down with keyfob
Since I bought my 2015 vert almost a year ago it has never really let me put the top down with the keyfob. A couple times it has but never does a full cycle down with out stopping. Now it wont at all with the Fob. Ive tried the window indexing thing, the trunk partition is attached. Ive tried with the ebrake on etc. I hit unlock once and hold the button like the manual says and it does nothing. Works perfect with the dash button everytime. Could it be a keyfob/car pairing issue? I'm at a loss.

Convertible top protectant
I have a '19 Z Vert which I initially use Rag top water proofing on back in March. It seems to need additional applications. I chose a different product this time which is the Porche Top Waterproofer. However, after recieving, it it states ; "Use only on Polyacrylic/Polyester tops....... I believe I must return. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yes very happy with 303 products. I purchased the fabric top kit from autogeek. I didnt need the cleaner that came with it. My top was new enough i didnt need the cleaner. I would think yours wouldnt need it either as its new. I would just buy the fabric protectant when i do it again. 303 says shouldnt need it again for 3years. I used painters tape and plastic to protect car. I would use plenty of plastic to cover car exposed areas. I did ok job with this but would do more next time. If you get it on paint or glass which you will. Its kind of hard to get off.
