GT3 Targa? Why bother. I want a GT3 pick-up, doesn't have to be big. Just large enough to carry spare wheels, tools and a pit bike to the track. No need for a tow vehicle, my tow is my track car.

I drove an aftermarket Z06 convertible a few years ago and it was a blast. 'Purists' were up in arms, blah, blah, blah...
Why not a convertible GT3...better still...the return of the Speedster with a chopped windshield and all.

Each to their own - personally, I'd like my GT3 with sunroof AND rear seats... I can live with a few extra kgs for that set-up and that engine...
Targa might be a bit OTT though...
On second thoughts... ignore me...

Why in the world would you want to do that? Just get a Targa w/the X51 and leave the GT3 alone!

i see what hes saying i think it would be amazing to blast through some canyons with nothing above you but sky. you could do that with a normal targa but with the gt3 it would be tons better..... just the whole feel the vibrations and all that good stuff. but then again you could just get a targa and mod the crap out of it (taking out exessive weight, adding more power, suspension set up) and it would make the sensation of driving with a glass roof a lot more..... sensational??
