i dont get why everyone was making a huge deal of disbelief, didnt AAM say they were doing this a while ago? so it's obviously possible...

they were just charging like $3,600 for it.

I dunno about a targa top on a car not made for it. So much for integrity of the structure and all the hard work engineers put into making a car stiff. And cutting the roof off and then adding a couple hundred pounds of 5' steel bars under the car doesn't bring back the rigidity it once had with the roof on. Anything is possible but you gotta ask the question why? Why not buy a used supra if you wanted a targa top, or any other number of 15 year old sporty cars that had targa tops....or a new vette, they still rock the targa

Because it's not a targa "350z"

can't afford 26k for a vette? if you consider that an expensive number for a car, what is the z? they're definitely not comparable. i don't see how you could afford the z and not a "26k" vette..

i know, my z was about 26k out the door.

but now that i can prolly only sell for 18k. 26k just seems alot haha. but i may be trading the z in for a 335icoupe this month. i can afford THAT cuz i work at BMW

Doesn't this cause a issue in the safety of the passenger and driver?

i have one question the targa Zs are made so that even when the top is down wind resistance isnt that bad for the driver...im sure we all expierienced driving the Z on the highway with the windows down the wind is basically smacking your face because the aero on the Z is hella good as a whole.


I can only imagine the parachut effect of how this makes the car perform on the highway . But its def a nice feature.
