Re: Is wanting a TARGA so WRONG (Z06GMAN)
I agree it would look pretty sweet but it might adversely effect the structural rigidity of the car. I think that's why they don't offer it as an option on the Z06 to begin with. Good thought though. :thumbs:

I haven't had a targa since my 96 LT4, and at speed the thing was damn near unbearable because of the buffeting. I say if you're going to go topless, take it all off.

That little rear hatch extender that ecklers and the like sell does wonders for the buffeting - it pops open the rear hatch by about an inch letting the air flow out the back.
It worked better on my 87, as the zr1 flexes TOO much with the roof out.

Give Caravaggio a call and you can have one. I'd get a Vert for nice cruising days, and keep the Z06 for flogging and track events.

I prefer my Z just the way it is. FRC. It's the only style I like on the C5. :steering:
