Question Roll bar in a targa

I am looking to put a roll bar in my targa. Can this be done and still put the top on? Will it get rid of the body flex? What about head room head room? pics?
Thanks for look'n.

PBS 911 from the board has an Autopower in his 3.6 SC Targa.

I've got a full, padded cage in mine and the top fits just fine.

Can't answer about body-flex, since the cage was there when I got the car. It does seem stiff, however I don't have anything to reference it too.





I can take more pics, if you like...

edit: Mine is an AutoPower also.

I'm just under 6 ft tall and I have no problem with headroom. I do have to dip my head while getting in and out though, but I've yet to bump my head.

Leg room isn't an issue either...

The roll bar should be behind the factory 'roll bar' and the top will fit fine. I recommend you go with a rollbar that bolts or welds to the sills, not the floor. A full cage is overkill, unless you are getting ready for wheel to wheel racing.
