Guys,

I notice that the “Ultimate Targa Thread” is Caps and the “ultimate coupe thread” is lower case.

Could that have something to do with weight?

Best,
Grady

You guys realize that the Coupe thread people are making fun of the targa's excessive weight?

One buddy of mine has a mint 1981 red Ferrari 308 GTS similar to the one already posted, so I won't re-post.

However I was riding around in another buddies car a few weeks ago and took this picture, hey that Viper is a Targa too!

Does anyone have a Lotus Elise to post?

No they are not, keep plugging away someone might bite.

Someone over there did say real coupes don't have sunroofs.

Here is my targa...with the interior ripped out so I could weld in some braces.

Good times all the way around...

Don’t mind my crappy welding; it was my first time.

Actually, Grady, I believe it has everything to do with the superior intelligence of the Targa owner and us knowing how to properly capitalize and punctuate much gooder than the coupe guys's can.
