What's your top speed with the top down?
 
With aerodynamic loss and lots of air through your face how fast have you gone with the top down?

i push it at 110 2 weeks ago. Don't feel it much at all.

I got up to 130 with it down.. didn't really feel much different than with the top up. Great aerodynamics :) Wind wasn't bad and hair didn't fly off my scalp either.

115 in Palm Springs, HWY 111. If not for the highway patrol officer helping out a stranded driver I might have gone to 120. Felt great with top down, baseball cap stayed on as did my cruise control at 70 mph back to town.

hit 135 in san diego, while driving on the coast :D My hair really felt different...haha...

A little over 125, it really came on way too easily. I could have easily pushed it higher, much higher.

It was just gettin warmed up....
 
Sunday morning on I80 outside Sacramento, relatively empty interstate hwy. We hit 110 and my wife didn't even notice, we'd accelerated up from about 85. It was rock solid and had plenty left.

I have less hair now compared to before the ZR. Not sure if it's old age, or the wind from high speed top down driving, or both. :icon38:

If you did that on a public road in West Virginia and got caught you would have been in a world of sh!t. Bye bye car, insurance, bank account savings...

123mph on the short straight at Lime Rock, (for those of you not on the East Coast-Lime Rock is a road racing course, not many straights).Handles great--sounds great.

AZNNBLK May 29, 2005 05:15 AM

What car club allowed you to take your roadster at Lime Rock? I would love to take my roadster there instead of Pocono.

110 on I95...
