Tracking Targa

I understand that most tracks will not allow convertible Vettes. Has anyone run into trouble with a targa being denied track access? Thanks

Every Vette since 1984 has been a targa it is well known, and I have never seen a problem for Auto-X/HPDE.

No issues doing HPDEs with my '07.

You'll have no issues with any Corvette coupe...even with the removable roof panel; it's still considered a coupe...and you do know that a Targa is a Porsche, right?

I like to point that out too.

You will never find the term "Targa" on any GM literature.

I understand it's just quick reference and commonly used though.
But I avoid using it myself.
