Default I love coupes...

... they're so fun to pass on the track

Hee hee. Just kidding, y'all.

I've just returned from my first DE at Mid Ohio. Wow!! It was fantastic. Great people and a great track. Can't wait to go back.

Why do I have a feeling, as we speak, you are placing a big order for suspension upgrades.....

You know me too well!

Hmmm.... Polyurethane or rubber bushings? Adjustable or fixed sway bar? Thicker or hollow t-bars?

I think this one had Ohio plates, so your honor is safe.

Targas do just fine at the track. A lowering to Euro height and some PB bushings are in order.

Targas rule too!

I haven't lowered it since I installed the Bilstein HDs. It's sitting pretty high right now. That's on my list as well as the PB bushings. I plan to have it aligned after I lower it, so now's a good time to install new bushings, cam adjuster plates, ball joints, etc. Any advice?

Targa's are too slow on the track, espcially when a 993 gives the signal to pass

You are going to need one of the cabriolet racing and performance shirts - soft tops require hard heads...

welcome to the slippery slope...
