To Targa, Or Not To Targa?

energiesource · October 5th, 2006, 08:15 PM

I'm pretty sure this should go in visual, but meh.
What do you people think of a targa top on a mustang?

DanishStallion · October 5th, 2006, 08:37 PM

looks funny to me, got more pics with windows down from side little more distance ?

DragonFreak · October 5th, 2006, 08:39 PM

it kinda reminds me of the old fox bodys with the t-tops

WAVEBYE · October 5th, 2006, 09:21 PM

IMO i would never do that for a few reasons:

1. they leak(unless factory)
2. they weaken the overall rigidty and strength of the body to resist torque
3. it doesn't quite go with the lines of a mustang(IMHO)

energiesource · October 5th, 2006, 09:33 PM

this shouldnt make the body any weaker

plus it comes with these

Dbarker · October 5th, 2006, 09:45 PM

I don't care for the look of the targa.

and it would weaken it some & even more so when the tops off, which is the point of the thing in the 1st place. Those tops are only gonna help when they're on.

the best thing for a pony is the classic look. look down

energiesource · October 6th, 2006, 01:23 AM

could have just said convertible?
besides a classic look is a fastback, they dont have those anymore, besides, if i wanted a classic mustang, i would have bought one.

ChrisJ · October 6th, 2006, 01:24 AM

I like the targa...

Drgnracin72 · October 6th, 2006, 09:30 AM

i like it also but without all of the other body parts that guy has on that cobra. unless your auto x-ing your car, your never gonna notice the rigidity difference from it. its gonna hurt in that department but i htink it looks good

ChrisJ · October 6th, 2006, 10:33 AM

I would like it 100% without the pillar scoops...But other then that I think it looks great...

acmillr · October 6th, 2006, 12:42 PM

I think that looks sharp. Nothing wrong with carrying on where Ford left off. I wouldn't worry much about stiffness- The convertibles are much weaker than a targa top car would be, and I haven't seen any problems with them.

DCstangGT · October 6th, 2006, 01:06 PM

i like the targa top, i think it looks pretty damn good on a mustang, not too many people have it so thats kool too.

itschristorres8 · October 6th, 2006, 01:24 PM

its your car

not mine or anyone elses
if you like it get, it no one elses choice but yours

GTSilver · October 6th, 2006, 01:46 PM

i think it looks pimp...thats bad ass lookin.

energiesource · October 6th, 2006, 01:48 PM

The process scares me quite a bit thuogh
i mean the rubber moulding sure does alot for the looks this is right after its done and during. i guess haha doesnt look too hot

itschristorres8 · October 6th, 2006, 01:52 PM

i love the interior in those cars MAN! thats what i fuckin want

that red mustang in my opinion looks just wierd.. like its not suppose to have that look

mustangstud13 · October 6th, 2006, 01:57 PM

well mabye the convertible isn't the classic look but its the right one!!

GTSilver · October 6th, 2006, 01:58 PM

the 1st stang looked bad ass...looks like it was done right...i dont know bout the red one....

energiesource · October 6th, 2006, 02:12 PM

well im guessing that is before the weatherstripping goes on, atleast i hope so, lol i dont know about it making it alot cleaner than the cobra though
but i love the look of the cobra, minus the c-pillars
