If you're accustomed to open vehicles, like the MX5 or a Harley one of the major features (of being out in the open) won't be as novel and distracting (I've had an Alfa Spider since '89)....which is both good and bad: Good, b/c you can focus on how nice a car it is...it's very responsive and you're connected to both the machine and the road in ways unlike the other toys in your collection. Bad, b/c I'm sure a lot of the first impressions you've heard of the car are based on it being open...which won't be such a big deal for you.
Make sure you glance over and watch those front wheels undulate, and how nice the gear box feels, and how deep and mellow the engine sounds, an S & S is like a Harley chick without the tattoos...
I cannot imagine anyone who doesn't need Viagra not loving this car, regardless of their automotive frame of reference.
