Default ZO6 Targa Possible?

Just wondering:

Is it possible to have a targa top installed on a ZO6? If so, does anyone have any pics?

Yep, it's possible.

Caravaggio does conversions. I think it's around $7,000 for them to do it to your car. They should have some pics on their website.

I would love to do this to my car someday. I LOVE the targa top ability of the coupes, but hate the bubble back glass.

C5 Z06 notchback + targa top = for the win

Wow very nice, thanks. That makes for one hell of a decision however. Supercharger or Targa ? Will have to sleep on that one or a while.

Thanks again,
Gunny

I would do the supercharger

Leave the targa for the Coupes ... JMO ... Whatever you decide, good luck and enjoy

Default I have Carvaggio's kit

Gunny, I bought the entire kit from John Carvaggia two years ago to be installed on my '03 Z06. Before I could do it, I sold the car and I still have the entire kit, which is all original Chevy parts. (it cost about $3,500 including shipping from Canada) We (the body shop and I) have been waiting for someone to make the plunge on a C5 Z06, but to no avail. The whole thing is here in the Chicago area in boxes at the shop. I am willing to sell the kit very cheaply because John doesn't want to take it back. The shop here has performed several of these mods and is basically "licensed" by Carvaggia to do it. If you want to discuss, please email me at millet521@comcast.net, or call me at 630-325-6530. I'd be delighted to get the kit off my hands!

Damn! I would love to jump all over this buy if I had a little extra cash,,,,,, I'll save your screen name and get back to you later if this thread doesn't sell your kit.

I will definately keep you guys in mind, I'm in the Marine Corps and right now I am away for a couple of months. When I return I will do some deciding and see what happens.

Also, I have now seen pics with the top removed, but does anyone have pics with the top in place?

Thanks again,
Gunny

Well.......had I known there was a conversion for the Z, I might have looked for a Z instead of a coupe. Hindsight is always 20/20 I guess.

the frc and the z06 looks great like they are. targa will slow it down. z06's are so light. some cant use what they cut out so they have to put glass roof and they are heavy. I say supercharge it..
