I've got two weeks of alpine roads to go and contend with, but so far, this is one of the most rewarding life experiences I've ever had. The fact that I am absolutely in love with this car doesn't hurt.
Stunning. Enjoy it.

First time seeing someone blocking out ED plates. Nice to see a silver targa bar on the GTS.

so far I only decided on Targa 4GTS, carmine red, manual transmission and will have a complete builds by next Friday. I have carbon fiber fetish so it will have CF steering and shift ****.

Have you heard anything about the rollout times? Targa is usually one of the last to be introduced, no?

I wonder if all the 992 Targas will be AWD’s. Always wondered why they did that.

LOL.....I thought the same thing. Hell, I don't even black out my own plates here at home, because hundreds of people see it every day. But temporary EUD plates?

Beautiful Targa. I wonder why Porsche does not outfit these cars with GRILL SCREENS ?! I installed them on my car after delivery and they have helped IMMENSELY with keeping bugs, leaves and road debris OUT of the radiators !!

No idea. But the grill screens are going on this one as soon as it's off the boat. I've been picking bugs out of the radiator daily.

Does the Targa bar present a problem with blind spot. Stupid me did not order the Lane change assist for only additional $800 and now is too late.
