Default Man does the wind blow these cars around.

Do you guys notice that the wind has it's way with these stangs. I have an 05 vert and it seems even the slightest wind moves my car all over the road.

They do seem kinda wind prone for a car, but after 3 mini-vans this things not bad at all.

The only time I noticed it was about 3 weeks ago when we had the storm of the century here in Chicago.

Larmo,
It definitely handles better with the top down but I have a hard time keeping it between the lines on windy days.

I notice it once I get over 80 mph but it does not get bad until you get over 110 mph.

If you think the stang gets a nudge from the wind on the highway, try driving an Izuzu box truck at 80. You get one good breeze and the thing tries to do a triple lindy into the next lane. I'd have to say that stangs are better than most cars since they're heavy and low to the ground, big surface area with people movers leads to some sweaty palms during storms.
