From Car & Driver in March 1969:

A different chassis, required by the Targa's roadster style, adds only slightly to the weight of the car and proved to eliminate some of the handling problems Mark Donohue didn't like in the coupe versions. "It has trailing throttle oversteer (like the coupe), but it was much more predictable. Going through the banking you could hear constant tire squeal which means it's committed and predictable and you can change it around and it stays neutral, whereas with the others it was either over-steer or understeer. It's more a Fexible Flyer . . . maybe I should cut all the tubes out of the roll cage on my Trans-Am car."
FTW for all Targa lovers everywhere!
