In my JK, top/doors off was definitely a deterrent for speeding....mainly because it couldn’t. Cruising at 70 required 5th gear, and any acceleration required 3rd. with a lot of throttle
The JL at least has the power to hold speed and accelerate like a normal vehicle with the extra drag, lol.
It’s definitely not like my Challenger, where you could creep up to 90 without even knowing, but it’s not uncomfortable at speed. It’s still requires you to ‘want’ to speed. Both in noise and required throttle input.
Gas mileage tanks hard above 70. Top/ doors on mine will do 20-22 mpg. At 75-80 is tanks to 16-18 mpg. There are highways here that are 75 mph, culture is to cruise at 5 over. When I get to those regions of higher speed limits, that gas needle really begins to move. But as far as wind noise, it’s no worse than any other convertible or T-top. About 80-82db according to my watch. 74-76db with top on.
