I just completed a two hour run the other night with the top down. temperature was anywhere between 46 and 32 depending on where I was.
Clear night, stars out and the heater/temperature on both sides set at 81 with the fan at full blast. We were quite comfortable and at 46 we almost had to turn the heater down. Now as long as there is no rain or fog the roof is going to be off! If I wanted a hardtop I would have bought a LS.

Are you kidding? I had mine over 90 the other day, top down, smooth as can be (windows up at that speed, of course, for noise).

Me buying an SC has cursed our Georgia weather.

I've been sitting outside in shorts on New Years before....but not this year. We've been at or below freezing for two weeks. I'm moving to Florida so I can let the top down.
