The 86 is a much quieter car as well, but trip prep for June includes a supply of earplugs. My days of SoCal to MN in one shot are long over, but even then with earplugs I could go a lot longer without getting wasted by noise.
You young dudes need to start thinking about your ears, you're not immune.
