Sorry for late response. I don't have any experience with Targa Top cars so I cannot respond to that. I don't track my car but, I do drive her like she was built to be driven... and modified to me driven. LOL! My experience shows good results. But keep in mind that she has been lowered and has wider tires than norm. I hit some pretty good "G's" on the curves

From reviewing the discussions, over the years the No-flex product has been on the market...it looks much like the oil wars on any given classic car / truck discussion site. Buy what you think is best for you. For a bolt on product and the $$$ we put into these cars for other things, the investment is somewhat minimal.

I believe someone had asked for additional pictures of the bars installed. I would love to accommodate that but, as stated, the car is lowered. That plus me being and old guy with bad knees, I fall down really easy. It's the getting back up that is a challenge. You should see me getting out of the 'Vette when the top is up.

Just for the record, I have experience with spending classic car $$$ over the years. Ex: 1970 documented Nova SS 90+% original (shouldn't have sold that car). 1978 Trans Am, rescued and rebuilt. (Shouldn't have sold that car). 1972 El Camino (wife hated that car). 1976 Cutlass Salon T-Top. Bought & prepped for Long Haul Power Tour. Covid side-lined that opportunity so sold that beauty. Still have 1969 C10, complete Resto-mod. Selling this one soon...and of course, the '95 Vette.

Ya'll be safe out there.

No space, especially with the optional Bose system speaker back there!! That's why our 96 has 30k miles and the C7 38k!
