This is not an all or none proposition. Have both and switch off.

Life is not black and white, unless you are color blind.

The bashing has gotten crazy and was taken down. Thank goodness!!! Is this Facebook or a Pelican Forum? I love the, Plain Jane(with S Bumper), 73 RS & Euro 74-75+? RS (Duck) look and also the mid 7s US Carrera(Whale) & C3 look. Just remember that they are DIFFERENT POINTS IN THE 911 DESIGN EVOLUTION TIME LINE. IMHO Keeping with period correct (-73/74-) matched pieces usually yields better visual & performance results. What is next? Hating on an RSR/IROC Look?

If you have a 74 or 75 Carrera/other roller that is not a rust bucket or want Jay Leno $$$$, PM me back.

OK to voice an opinion but do not hate because it is waste.

Is it official this is the new guards red targa thread����. Harry its your thread nice car you asked and I don't like the carrera tail on the long hood. Looks dull with no tail but dafisher's looks great. If you can get a duck on a lid and switch you'd have it all.
Ok now let's see some more Targas!!!!!

Ducktail or no tail IMO.

Thanks for the comments. Not very surprised by what I am seeing.

As far as the Front Air Dam/rear spoiler thing. I have been driving my car with the tail since 2003. I have done DE's, Autocross, spirited driving and commuting. The only time I my car has actually lost traction and rotated is at Autocross when I make an aggressive move (Typically at 11/10ths). At all other times, the car is well planted.

Where am I heading. I will drive it without the tail for a while and then it will return as my lovely wife prefers the tail look and her vote out numbers any number of other votes.

BTW: If I get El Jalapeno repainted, I will probably go back to the original steel deck, so my ducktail could be available for you. Nothing definite yet.

HMMMMM. We may need to talk.

late to the game here - in more respects than one,
Targa owner, but I want and bought a tail.
Fixer (Matt Mariani) just painted it and I can't wait to install.
That said, I can see skipping it on earlier MY targas.

I like tail. But I don't judge. Life is too short to pretend you like tails when you don't. Whatever floats your boat...
;)

I took the tail off my 86 Targa as a test and found I preferred the look. However, on a very hot day, I do think the oil temp did move up a tad from the with tail version.
