Top speed with sunroof open and windows down?
Today the weather was perfect @ 68 degrees with not a cloud in the sky. I got tired of watching the five hunnert and decided to go for a drive. Well of course I had the sunroof open and the windows down all the way plus my car was hitting 13 lbs like it was nothing... so next thing I know I'm doing an impromptu high speed run. At around 130 the windshield wipers suddenly flew up and I heard this super loud scream! It scared the crap out of me! I realized it was just a super loud whistle from all of the air flowing around. Needless to say my hair was a little messed up.. lol

hmm. i notice my car goes slower at higher speeds with sunroof open and doesn't feel as stable. not a good idea.

I did 130 with the windows down and the sunroof open once, prolly not one of thr brightest things I have ever done, but I lived. Voices just kept telling me faster, faster...
hehe |
if i ever wanted to do a high speed run in my old first gen i HAD to have the windows down.
if they werent the driver door/window would shake like it was going to fly off!!! i love my FC so much more than old gray (fb)! |
I heard something along time ago that if you had the sunroof open you got more downforce at high speeds

with all the wind blowing it fells as if the car goes from side to side with the window open.
