    Targa 4S vs. Aston Vantage & SL63

    Drivers Republic article here.

    Also video here.

    The T4S looking good in green (Porsche Racing Green or Malachite ?  I can't decide):

    Re: Targa 4S vs. Aston Vantage & SL63

    I didn't like the wheels.

    The car has no Sport chrono either.

    I would have prefered cabrio over Targa; I find it little pointless.

    T4S was in Malachite. You;re right without S/C Harris never "got" what the car could do except for one brief run. Considering the competition here the car Porsche should have made available was the 997 TT Cab.

    AMV8 roadster, that was my choice also, only mine was with hard cash and not wordsSmiley

     

    Even after a year, the Aston has something that my 996 never had. Hard to describe, but something along the lines of ownership vs paper benching/racing.

     

    SL63 AMG? Doesn't make much sense for people under 60 years old IMHO... Can't say it enough too: two tons machine... Makes sound the already too heavy Aston and 911 like 20 year old ballerinas...

    I'm not the biggest fan of sportscar convertibles, maybe also because of the weather. For the Targa is something like the perfect symbiosis between Coupé and Cabrio. Smiley

    The Targa is on my list for living in the Midwest where the sun shines most of the time, but we unfortunately have "Goldilocks" weather. For 4 months it's too hot, for 4 months it's too cold, and for 4 months it's just about right. Now if only the Targa came with rwd it would be a done deal.

    Yup - For some of us, the Targa is the best of both worlds.  For others, it's the worst of both worlds.  That's why they make both vanilla and chocolate ice cream.
