I find there is very little wind noise (there is some), but cruising at 80mph my gf's Subaru Impreza is much noisier and so was her old Altima. Top down I'm happy up to 75, and I keep it down as often as possible. Turbulence seems pretty minimal (especially when after 3 weeks it occurred to me I could put the windows up 
) although always best to have a bball cap to make sure you don't get burned and can shield your eyes a little better from the sun.

Top's down every day on my daily driver in So Fla. A hat keeps the hair from blowing. Heater, A/C, and windows usually manage temps nicely. Noise is usually worth hearing - birds, people talking, engines. On the highway, to hear the radio or talk on the phone, the windows just go up.
Can't make Nov 1, but glad to see blue ZR's will be represented

Top Down....
That's what the A/C and heater are for.
Top down all the time.
New Top, of course....it's a Z.
The old ones just don't last.
The world looks different with the top down.

went from a turbo'd eclipse convertible to the ZR and i def put the top down more on the zr because of the speed of it. its down as often as possible! only thing i miss is the sound of the turbo spooling... but that will be changing soon :-)

I never owned a vert, but love to rent them. I've had a few targa top cars and it looks nice to have it off, but not great to drive at highway speeds. The wife complains about her hair flying everywhere etc. Here is my question...after owning your Vert/Roadster has the top start to come down less? Do you wish you now had a hard top for any reason?
Just covering all bases before I make the move to get one. After some research I've decided that I like the Grand Touring model.
I own a Vette, but she is my track car for road course events. So this roadster won't really be my performance car.

I used to have an S2000, there is considerably more wind noise in the S than the ZR. The ZR is a nice mixture of sport and convenience. The heated seats, more room, better ride quality. The S2000 was a great car but I would never go back.
YOUR TELLING ME THE TOP GOES UP?????? 
IM SORRY BUT IM GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS

If it is over 50 degrees the top is down for me. Unfortunately, my wife has ice in her veins so I can't put it down unless it is 65 or so when she is with me. She also has longer hair so she doesn't love the wind so much. She isn't a real vert-lover like me (sounds dirty). I'd never put it up if the skies were always clear. I've done 85/90 or so on the highway and it can be a little noisy, but that's what a good mix CD is for.

Tops down when only the wife wants it down and then usually with the windows up so her hair doesn't get messed up. WRZ, wifes red Z. My dailly driver is a Chevy SSR and the tops down a lot.
