Thank you for your input. I have a 60 mile round trip commute, all windy back roads : )

Hi,

bought the Targa; it is being shipped to me. I have read 911s handle differently than other cars. Previously I have been driving a mercedes coupe with rear wheel drive and 100 less hp. I am considering taking it to a track but in the interim, what should I pay attention to other than keeping it "real"?

Your advice is apprecited. BTW it does not have the Porsche Stability Management option.

Thank you all for your input, greatly appreciated. Will let you know how the car turns out.

I am excited about getting into a POrsche 911 : )

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at cabrios because they look extremely attractive with the top down, but, realistically, I will be driving most of the time in early AM and in the evening. Plus the humidity in the Summer... So I got interested in the Targa. The roofline is an exercise in art. I have read that it can get very bright/hot in the sun -when driving-. Any thoughts on that? Do you get much wind noise with the to open?

I am about to go through the deal.

Now that was a great story! Seams like that car was meant to be yours.

My opinion: these pieces are way overpriced and make your car look like it wants to be a 997.

Hi there,

after years of dreaming, I have decided to go for it. I am looking at a 2003 Targa w/ 54k miles. Serviced consistently at a dealership, had the 45k service a couple of months ago. Looks good on the photos. I called the dealership and they did not recall any issues with the car. 3 previous owners, lived in the South.

Any potential issues to be concerned about?

How does it drive compared to the coupe and the convertible?

Do you like the Targa roof?

Thanks for your input!
