No more noisy than any other mid engine car of that era really..........well, maybe a bit noisier
............heat in the cabin not a problem, you just open the windows
If you ever get to ride in a GT40, all you need is ya swimmin trunks because you will sweat yer tats off believe me ( even if it's got A/C
) .........fixed windows with a silly little port hole in the drivers plexi glass
