<VV> Convertible Noise

[Andrew Allen]

I've had 'verts on and off. '67 Fury, dad had a '75
Caprice, '91 Mustang GT and a '70 Corvette with the
T-tops and removable rear window. All were a blast and
all of them were noisy. My favorite and the most
pleasant to drive is the '62 Corvette I have now and I
think it has to do with the high wrap around
windshield. My wife and I can cruise at high speed and
still have a conversation. I'd venture the EM has the
LM beat as far as wind noise because of the windshield
design.

The best part is giving it the gas so you can hear the
exhaust note!
