At the GTS power levels (which is the S level on the 992) I did not feel the car was really impacted by the extra weight. The targa does feel a bit softer, if that makes any sense. That could be because the GTS has SPASM but overall its not a huge difference. What you will notice is the targa will have more creaks, especially on crappy roads, as the chassis is flexing more (you have no roof).

So if I were you I would not dismiss the Targa as it is EPIC and I am sure they made it even better. But I would not get a base model, get the 4S or wait for the GTS.
It's not just the weight per se, it's where that additional weight is.

The higher COG of the Targa is what makes driving the Targa different than most other 911s (Cabs, included).
