When the top was down I couldn't hear any of the noise.  When it was up
there was a lot of noise, especially from the trunk.  I assume higher-end
models would have more insulation.  

I like the noises of a sports car but this was not that.  It was plastic
panel squeak and rattle, wind noise, and tire hum.  My truck is very quiet
so that probably has something to do with it.

I checked out the picture but didn't notice any Mustang...  ;-)

Mmm, Shelby.  I could really use an "Eleanor" to go with my Belinda 
(this reference will make no sense unless you have seen Gone in 60 
Seconds).

Okay, I can agree with you on the cheap doors and I didn't notice 
any sound issues since it was a convertible.  And, my Delorean has 
been super noisy up until recently when I got a new exhaust, so I 
guess I am a little deaf :)

Corvettes, especially the new ones, look pretty cool, but they will 
always scream "midlife crisis" to me.  

I posted a picture from my Mustang weekend to this board...
