You know actually last year in Detroit around March. It was like 20 degrees out, but sunny. One of my buddies wanted a ride in it and we did like 130 on I-96 with the top down. The combination of heat, windows up, and sun actually was nice. It got to that sweet spot of a speed around 110 when the wind died down a bit and it seemed to be just slicing through the wind.

drove 148 mph top down. Still is a good ride at that speed (girlfriend was sleeping next to me )
Probably your car is too quiet. I started to hear nothing but my exhaust from 70 in 6th..

The cold air does tend to pop and irritate my ears, but I just pull the hat down to cover them and it's wide open. 22 degrees this morning when I left the house, but if you dress for it, the cold air really wakes you up by the time you get to the office.
I'm pretty sure the manual says you're not supposed to operate the top at that kind of temperatures.

I've seen 154 top down next to a Porsche. The wind made my ears hurt for a week and it was so worth it. It only took about 15 seconds to get there.
