    Can the TARGA use the Porsche Roof Transport Sys?

    Since the accident I'm for sure going to replace the 2005 997S with a new one when the lease is up. Thinking of the TARGA but wondering if it can take the Porsche Transport System... anyone know???

    Ah ha... You leased it. That's why the paint looked like it did.

    Just guessing but it doesn't look likely since here's a high def bird's eye view of the roof rail.

    There's no little "hatched latches" for attaching the roof rack like on the other 997s

    Here's the coupe roof rail for comp. Roof transport "hatched latches" are circled.

    Thanks for the pics !

    Here's the deal - I live in SF and mountain bike a TON. Parking in this city is nuts so I really only want one car. Otherwise I would have to rent a space down the block for a pickup truck or something to carry the bike. So my 911 of choice has to be able to carry the bike.

    Since the 2005 997s is all smashed up I'm going to get a new one when the lease is up in Jan. I was considering a TARGA but looks like that won't work for my bike needs.... bummer. So I'll probably just get another 997s !

    Life could be worse !

    On the 996 Targa, there was a specific Roof Transportation System, that was outrageously expensive... I therefore suspect it is likely to be the same for the 997
