targa pr turbo cab
Hi everyone, I have been thinking of replacing my current 992 for a targa. I like the open top idea as i don't track my cars and it would add more to the fun factor of the vehicle.
My local Porshe called me us stating the have a targa chalk/red available and i went to take a look. its really nice, but am having 2nd thoughts. I think the red interior is not for me, so i would have to place an order custom vehicle. While I was there, they had a turbo cab with navy blue with a chalk stitching in the showroom that caught my eye. Its a bit more expensive, but not by much. I am curious, it you had the option, would you go with the targa or turbo cab and why?
thanks

In my opinion if you do a lot of top down driving the Cab will be the one to go for. However, I’d always choose the Targa. Why? Because it still maintains the lines, better visibility with roof up and for me looks way too cool for school.

I test drove a Targa before buying my Cab. I’ve driven cabs continuously since 1999 and wouldn’t have it any other way. To me, the Targa feels like a big sunroof. The cab is completely different - you’re open on three sides and can feel and smell everything.

Targa…..I’ve owned two Targas and the 992 version is much better as far as buffeting is concerned too. The 991 was a little more windy inside unless you messed with the windows etc.

I was all set on getting a Targa 4S, had an allocation and submitted a build. My Targa was built to about $190K. I thought long and hard about what I considered the most important characteristics in a car and how I like to drive and decided to give away my Targa 4S allocation for a Turbo S coupe. I happen to agree that the Targa is probably the best looking of all the 992 variants, but the Turbo will give me more of the driving experience I’m looking for. If you want the fastest open top experience that will viscerally assault you at the push of the pedal, the Turbo is the car you want. The Targa is no slouch, though. It’s handling won’t be as sharp as the 4S coupe, it can’t be had with SPASM, but it is still a very capable car. The turbo is just a different animal, though.

Both cars have roof mechanisms that will fail/need maintenance over time. The cab eventually will wear out its fabric top. Targa top is probably life time. But if you don’t plan on keeping fir more than 5 years doesn’t matter. Targa also gives you a little more rear storage from what I understand as well.
red interior for me would be the deal breaker. Get the spec that makes you smile when you walk away from it in the parking lot and sneak a peak over your shoulder.

Personally not interested in a cab.
Also personally like the red leather interior.
This is your ride, get it the way you want. When permitted my Targa GTS will be built to my configuration.
