No me gusta.

The chassis would get a lot less stiff if you hacked it up like that.

It should be a factory option. I would have gone for one

I believe they added structural supports for the yellow Z

hmmm, dunno if I'm feelin' it.

B@t™

The owner of that car is a South Caroline native and a forum member, contact TopGone.

The car is sponsored by Vibe and Stillen and is pretty neat to ride in honestly (its different having a Targa Roof).

:shakes head:
holy mother of god! please don't!
why would you ruin such a nice car in that way?
just buy a convertible if you need wind over your head.
I'm sure this would affect TOTALLY the integrity of the chassis
and handling.

im sure that if they were tracking their car they would be concerned about that. But considering that they did add structural support to the car, its good enough for them to drive around and do what they do with the car.

I mean, people arent riding around taking corners are 80mph in neighborhoods where you need all that handling capability.

and the looks are subjective. I personally am not a huge fan but thats also cus i am not a fan of yellow cars at all .

I like it. If it were offered OEM I'd trade my '10 in for it.

I really like it...anyone know the manufacturer, whether there are leaks, what structural supports are added, cost, etc.?

Thanks

Update?

^ It's a custom job. It's not something in mass production.

It looks like Z1 has worked on it. You may want to start by giving them a call.
Targa Z

i would be all over it if there was a kit that accomplished it with OEM fit and finish, but i dont see that happening.

Don't like it... looks like a hackjob since it isn't OEM. Everything is abrupt and unfinished.

Yeah not a big fan of it, never liked them on the older Porsches either:

if you have questions about it ask the owner. there is also a thread about the build of it.

I saw the Yellow z34 at Znats, the quality was terrible imo. :(

It looksnice imho... but my question is, what does it look like with the top on? That's what would be the real dealbreaker. If it looks hacked into with the top on then its not worth it.

Targa Top
 

Has anyone Targa Top their Z here ?
i seen a yellow one on youtube and a photo of a green ones as well.
I do not like convertible cars, but that Targa Top looks extra dope to me.
I was told if you do go Targa Top, the car might be all crooked and the handling and body of the car will be useless. Someone i dont really know well said that when the Targa Top subject was brought up.
Trying to find anything online but didnt find anything relative with Z and Targa Top.
So what are your thoughts on this ?
Seems to me this is the only thing missing on the Z.

I saw the yellow one in person at Z Nationals 2011. I think it's a rather cool mod, but it's pretty extreme, so you don't see it done very often.

I think it looks cool and would be fun for a cruiser or show car, but if you care about retail or track performance, it'd be a no go.

my car its a daily now. its going to be one year that i have it on the 14th and i only got 7k miles on it. actually just got to 7k too.
i was looking to purchase some bs to be my daily just so i dont drive my Z every day every where. and i think taking that top off in shows and car meets would be dope.

Oh, I agree, it's pretty awesome at shows and meets. I bet it's a blast to drive on a nice warm day, too.

yeah. exactly my thoughts

I think T-Tops were look better and keep more structural rigid to the frame....

if it looked better maybe...looks like they took a sawzall to it and covered it up with some plastic

I think Targas are Porsche's thing. T-tops are Nissan's thing. To each his own.

I like the way it looks. But I don't like the finishing looks. Looks pretty cheap to me. I wanna see how it looks with the Top on too. Probably it adds more cabin noise. More than the Z already has -___-

I think if it was done OEM it would be sick, the 350's look great... but I don't like the look on that yellow Z... =( sorry.

Z Targa
 

I personally think a Targa on a 370 would be totally SICK! and wish like crazy it was a factory option like on a Vette, where it could be removed and then snapped into a holding place in the hatch area just like the current Vettes! If I could get it done reasonably and by someone of some talent that I could trust, cutting my baby, then I would DEFINETLY get it done. but I doubt all of that could be done to please me enough. lol. MEZ.:tup:

Wish that came from the factory like the vette coupes. That would be really sweet!

yes indeed!:iagree:

Our roof is too short to be a targa, looks kinda awkward.

I love targas but they need to be thought of while designing the car. Corvettes always pull it off the best.
