Default Paging Verruckt.. wind noise question for you

I just finished a long haul for christmas and traveling at speed we'll say 75-80ish. i noticed that there is a lot of wind noise in my car. My question for you is how would you rate the wind noise when at autobahn speeds? also have you noticed a lot more wind resistance at 150 vs 80? Just trying to giure out why this car seems that it becomes a block at speed, although you have proven that it can attain 180 i just find that hard to imagine unless you were drafting off of someone. Do you think that lowering would make for a considerable change in aero or COD? just random thoughts thanks for all input

My car is fairly silent until well over 100. Keep in mind that air is much more dense in the winter time which does bring more wind noise at speeds. Your door seals may not be working properly.

My car pulls pretty hard to about 170 or so. The last 10-15 mph come pretty slowly...but before that, it's fairly responsive. Lowering will help with air resistance, but not much.

I hope that helps.
