What's with the roof?

Just kidding, looks nice.
Thanks. It was a bit brisk & I was lazy. ;) Luckily, the Mustang looks pretty good even with the top up. :D

Get a wind restrictor, it will change your world! :thumbsup:

I really haven't played with it in extremes much. & don't really have a plain one to compare it to. :) So, I'm worthless. :D
No problem Scott. I think the magna ride is really for the performance based cars that are going to push to the limits or track. I love the ride/suspension on mine.. so really don't have any complaints. I am getting BMR lowering springs installed to tighten things up just a bit, but the verts are great as is.

Crossing what once was the longest bridge in the world
Verrazano-Narrows Bridge


I wish coupe owners could FEEL what we feel, especially when crossing enormous bridges and looking down at the ocean.
It's definitely a different experience! I'm looking forward to drives like that!
How was the wind buffeting on the bridge? Have you considered getting a wind restrictor?

If it ever gets too windy, even at 80+, I just roll up the windows and the wind becomes a slight tickle on the top of my head.

That's on the list. :)

I did play with it a little on my commute this morning & could tell the difference in Normal & Sport+ from an NVH perspective. But definitely looking forward to some more controlled environments to try it out in.

I'm still getting re-used to the convertible experience. :) Between the draft & the adrenaline, I get tense & almost shivery. :D

That does help... I guess I am not as tolerant. Was on the hwy in 60 degree weather and we had to put the top up. Haven't installed mine yet... hoping it will improve things.

I keep a fleece zip-up hanging on the seat back for chilly conditions. My top is down if it’s at least 45 degrees and sunny or 55 degrees at night. The wind-deflector and seat warmers allow top-down driving year-round.

The orange & black is a great combo!

What's interesting is that your pictures look very similar to the Skyline Drive in Virginia.

There is just something about a black car with red seats... Nice look:headbang:

Ditto!... I kind of miss my dark saddle interior on my coupe... lot of compliments.. although I am really digging the suede inserts in the CA special. Grip my body and they seem more supportive and comfortable; especially on longer drives....

X2 on the seat inserts. I love mine. Had my top down and car parked yesterday. Lotsa sun (FINALLY. Lol). But after a few hours parked in direct sun, I hopped in. Seats were very warm, but not hot by any stretch. If they were black full leather, I would not have been able to do that.

This is my first vert and not my last. But my next will have same/similar seats.:thumbsup:

My recently traded-in 2014 GT had the black leather interior. Usually the top went up when it was parked for any length of time, but there were instances where it was left down, even on a hot day. I kept a large white beach towel in the trunk and placed it on the seat. Never a problem. That same towel is now in the trunk of my 2018 GT 'vert.
