to targa or not to targa

Hardtops are lame. Targas dont leak if you seal them correctly, anyone with a leaky targa is just TOO lazy to fix it right. Honestly, I cant understand complaining about leaky targas any more than I can understand calling the 7M an inherently bad engine.
As for targa flex with the top out, just buy or build a proper targa brace, problem solved.

or a roll cage!
get a properly constructed roll cage, you can kiss the taking off the targa top goodbye cause the bolts to undo the targa will be blocked by the piping from the roll cage.

Not true at all.
I know a MKIV in the area that has a cage and he takes his targa off all the time. The bolts are in the same place, and there is plenty of room between the edge of the roof and the bolts.

That's a lock, and it will rattle like hell if it's the only thing holding the top on, not to mention leak...
I know, I learned all about Supras and targas on my friend's MKIV NA auto...
slowest piece of shit ever, hahah...

Am i the only one with 3 targa Supras that don't leak a drop? It's easy to find an abused, neglected, rusted out Supra (or any other car), if you don't look too hard. As for weight, it's negligible. Much less than what most passengers body weight. But get whatever strikes your fancy.
i own both a hardop and a targa. hardtop is a stiffer car but there is nothing wrong with my targa either. as far as purchasing a supra, i dont think this should be a primary concern. i watch supras on ebay, CL, and autotrader all the time. if your patient you can find yourself a good car in whatever pricerange your looking in. remember the long it takes the more money you have to spend on it. vehicle condition vs. cost would be my main concern along with a manual trans.
If its a newer supra and everything else is what you want buy it try it out most mkiii are cheap enough so if you dont like it you could buy another one or just sell it when the right one does come along maybe thats just me.:naughty:
I paid $1100 for my 1986.5 hardtop black on black and now its been upgraded to where its better then a 1992 & way lighter.
