Where are you coming from? You’ll be able to get plenty of use of that targa top in Pasadena.

Does anyone know in this vid if it is Guards Red or Carmine Red?

I think it's Guards, but it's hard to tell with the nighttime setting. By the way, I clicked on this thread and saw my posts from 2020 regarding the Guards Red Targa I had ordered. I turned out my dealer didn't get an allocation, and with renovating our Pasadena house from 3000 miles away, being busy at work, and planning our move, I put the 992 on the back burner. Now that things have calmed down somewhat, I changed course and ordered a 2022 Night Blue Metallic C4S coupe.

Oh man! I was following your posts and hoping I would have seen your Targa in Guards Red to compare. No wonder I was unable to find it. Congrats on the C4S coupe! I originally had an allocation for the C2S and switched to the Targa. Hope it is still as special in some way as the coupe!

Tom,

Don't you want to get the Targa-after all you are heading to Pasadena.

Now that we're getting close to our permanent move to Pasadena, I started looking at 992s again. 2021 Targa allocations are non-existent, and who knows when 2022s will be available. The dealer I work with in PA had an allocation for a 2022 C4S coupe with a September delivery date, so I jumped on it. Originally, I was going to get the Targa, sell my Macan, and keep my wife's 997 as her daily driver. We've spent some of the winter/early spring in California and realize that living with just two 911s isn't going to work. So, we're keeping the Macan, selling the 997 and the 992 will be my wife's daily. Even though she loved her '87 Guards Red Targa, she decided she'd spend more time driving with an open sunroof than an open Targa top. Surprisingly, she opted for NBM.
