I will agree with that. I went to significant trouble to find a Targa 4 because the local dealer only has an allocation for a Targa 4s, and I have no interest in the s. Its more hp than I need or want, more fuel consumption, and 19" wheels I don't want, and I can certainly apply the $10k better on options, which I will enjoy a lot more.

The car I fell in love with as a kid was a convertible 911 turbo, but it was because of the shape, not the presence of the turbo or the horsepower. That car looked so hot going 30mph down a tree lined boulevard in Mannheim Germany.

Horsepower isn't only about top speed, however, so I can appreciate the added acceleration one can get from additional horsepower, which one can use even in the USA.

 

OK. I was trying to pick up the red on the brake calipers.

What do you think about black seatbelts and mats, and painted seatbacks instead?

What color deviating stitching would you guys suggest?

 

If you paint the seatbacks you will suddenly bring a lot of blue into the car. You may want to reconsider that.

 

I would skip the painted seatbacks; might be a bit much as Dan suggested. Given the brilliance of the Riviera the only exterior painted interior bit I would consider would be the gear**** trim, which I always have thought was a nice subtle touch.

As for the deviated stitching, what about Riviera?

 

Man, I wish! I would do that in a second, but they don't offer deviating stitching in anything close to Riviera.

Unless you know something I don't! Please tell me they do.

 

I currently have a Speed Yellow S with painted seat backs and really like them. I get a lot of compliments on them, too.

 

Rivera is a stunning color Red would definitely clash and any deviating stitching might just end up being too much (very busy) Let the exterior color speak for itself and go with leather in the interior and aluminum on the gear shifter and handbrake and that is it---Simple/subtle is much better. But I like the idea of having the seat backs painted in Rivera that would give you all the color and pop in the interior that you would need.

 

I have to believe they can do that for a price. No first hand knowledge but I have seen a pretty wide array of stitching colors (orange, green, blue, red, white, etc).

 

I believe there is a light blue option for stitching... Hell, throw enough money at them, they'll do it! Less tongue in cheek, I think you could afford to do that if you go with the standard colors that you would've made red before... Deviated stitching (or maybe piping on the seats/mats) would be the total extent of color contrast I'd put in the cabin.

 

I have updated my specs and am getting ready to place my order. Would you guys give them a look again? See original post (top of page one).

 

Option 220!!!!!!

The best

 

The new specs sound awesome...

 

THAT is going to be one hot car. Riviera is an awesome colour.

 

Ditch the wart and you'll have one beautiful car without that hideous blemish!

 

Amen, brother! BUT can't get the turbo without it. I mean you can, but you can't.
