??? Are you referring to targa tops? They have been a staple on vetts since '84 as well as nsx-t's and a few other miscel models. If you have a hardtop now it would be better to just buy a ttop car as the structural bracing on a ttop car or convertible is much more to compensate for rigidity of the shell. The cost involved would be astronomical but targas are cool. I have had them all and i have to say a convertible is the easiest to deal w/...lugging the ttops off and on again makes me never take the one i have off the vette. |

well it seems pretty easy a simple cut across clean up the edges then keep the top to place over if some random storm pops up now if i had some super engine and was a wild driver then yeah i would be nervous about torque twisting the frame and all that jazz but i really liked it ill look for better pics tho................ too bad we still got snow up here in saratoga damn this is the longest winter everrrrrr |

That red one also looks like he lives in our part of the country too. Talk about chassis flex in cars w/any balls. |

Its a targa but i was saying rolling back a vertible top is soo much easier than taking a ttop or targa top off and storing it in the trunk |

Holy sh!t Simon and Simon I loved that show.. If I remember right he drove the Z28 (3rdgen) and like a 68 RS. There was A Bel Air Vert and A dodge Power wagon in the show too. |

It was a tv show...i guess these new cats also never heard of Cagney and Lacey, Rockford Files, or Hardcastle and Mccormick ( always liked that red kit car they had on that show). Or what about "Acapulco heat' w/the red rx-7 in it.....youngin's. Next up they probably think 'gone in 60seconds' w/nick cage was the original. Sometimes the sh!t was better back in the day...i like my women like Alex likes his eyebrows...bushy son. Edited by 1320B4U, Mar 17 2011, 02:13 PM.
