The car is not noisy. The top does not rattle. The lining probably makes the top quieter than other rag tops. It doesn't have the exhaust note of a Shelby Cobra but so what? It's a solid car and the ride is smooth and comfortable IMO. It's fast. It's fun. It handles GREAT! It turns heads and when I'm driving it I feel like a hot shot. What's not to like?
Couldn't agree more. If you want smooth ride and quiet buy a Lexus or a Mercedes. Traditionally, sports cars were Spartan machines with little in the way of creature comforts but a whole lot of power and great handling. Compare the AC Cobra with a Z and the Z looks like a luxury car.
