The North Shore isn't that far...hour and a half to Duluth only, to get on scenic 61...
From there it depends on how often and how long you make stops. Straight through...Grand Marias is another 2 hours up 61. I turned that two hour drive into 4 and a half. It was well worth it!
Sounds awesome... I think I would go insane from the terrible drone from the MAC mufflers on my car... I used to drive to/from Grand Forks ND (300 miles) frequently in my car and when I'd get out I just felt numb from the vibrations.... sounds like sechs when I get on it, but gets annoying fast on the highway.
I really need to get me some straight-through mufflers like Magnaflows or Magnapacks.
The convertible makes such a difference on the trip...out in the sun, seeing the birds overhead, feeling the crispness of the lake cooled air...just awesome!
That was exactly the type of cruising I had in mind when I purchased the car!
Do you ever wish you would have got the SVT package (springs, 20 inch rears, etc.)? I actually like the look of the 5-spoke, non-SVT package wheels better!
I have absolutely no regrets in going without the SVTPP.
IMO not only do the 5 spoke rims look better, but the thin stripes of the PP do absolutely nothing for me either!
Ford had already drastically upgraded the sstandard suspension in 2010 over the 07-09 models, reducing the weight like they did for 11-12 has improved the handling even more. Since I got the car primarily as a cruiser, I felt there was no real reason I'd need the SVTPP.
