Sharkwerks meets 996 Targa

Just wanted to thank the guys at Sharkwerks for all of the great work they've done to my 03 Targa... Couldn't ask for a better touring car... 800hp TT would be nice... but hey!

Seriously that is one hot targa and our pleasure... sounds pissed off, handles like it should. Stops like mad too! You really don't see many Targas, which is a shame. They're a neat idea and ever since the 993 Targa I've always liked them

Looks amazing in person as well. I would say Pss9 is definitely one of my next "upgrades"

Great looking Targa it looks even better in person. It was fun meeting you this Sunday at Sharkwerks, Alex needs to put together a track day so we all can get some use out of these PSS9s.

Definitely the best of a coupe and convertible. Just out of curiosity though, does the Targa top with all the glass and mechanics make the car somewhat more top heavy than a regular coupe?

Now all you need are Flared Rocker Panel. That will Complete the Look.
Maybe some deep Lip 19" wheels also. IMHO

Definitely. All that glass is heavy. Probably not the smartest choice for a track car, but I didn't want a coupe and I didn't want a full roll bar required for cabs.

Looks great! Skirt that thang, your lucky to have Sharkwerks, although if it was in NJ, I'd be much, much poorer.
