South Florida sounds a lot like south Texas... it's just too hot to enjoy a drive in the summer. I'm definitely a Fall, Winter (Yes... even the dead of winter is not too bad in S. Texas) & Spring kind of driver. A sweat top with a zip-up hoodie is perfect when I want to cruise. Summer time is usually the time for repairs/upgrades... for example... I'm in the process of replacing a cracked windshield. It WILL be ready for Fall.
I own a C3 Corvette w/ AC & a high efficiency radiator for summer cruising... and even it can't keep up w/ the S. Texas summer heat in the middle of the day. The performance isn't the same w/ the C3... but comfort while cruising takes precedence. Summer time cruises in the C3 are usually done by 12:00 Noon. In the Cobra... they'd be over even sooner. Cruising a Cobra in S. Texas during the summer is brutally hot.
