I was wondering... if a targa was parked next to a coupe, what would the difference be in the rake of the roof lines?
I took a couple of pictures I found on the internet which are below and measured the rake of the roofs from just forward of the rear wheel back along the body toward the rear bumper.
It appears as if the difference is about 2 degrees. 26 degree rake for the coupe vs 28 degree rake for the targa.
My geometry skills may be rusty but gladly those skills are rustier than my Targa!
