I just picked up a 99 black targa 6spd.
I have a few questions.
The car has a rough idle, it studders slightly during idle. Is it normal?
I tried doing a search on the car specs for the differences in the C5 years and couldn't find anything. Does anyone have a year by year spec difference, ie. brake size, power etc..?
Thanks.

Congrats on the car. My '00 has a slightly rough idle, but it is normal. If more than that, you may have an issue somewhere.
