Thanks. That is helpful. I presume the cab weight you provided is for a C4S cab? I just realized that the Targa only comes in Targa 4 and Targa 4S, and is not available as an "S". I wonder why.

Yes, the weight is for the cab 4S. I'm not sure about the availability only in awd. It may be simply a marketing deal. Technically, it could be due to handling impact of the heavier glass roof. Also, the wider hips may be needed for the sliding roof, but I wouldn't think this would force the awd. It is a good question.

I agree that they are probably the best looking in the 911 lineup, the Targa 4S was my first P-car! I have a Turbo incoming, and can no longer afford to have both, so regrettably I am selling mine.

Here are a few points:
imo the targa 4S is the best looking out of the current 911 line due to the window/hip line and different back side windows,accentueted by the chrome line from the A to C frame.
the full glass roof with the screen allow for a very airy cabin most of the time while keeping the sun away when required.
AWD allows for a better stability,not necessary a weather instrument
the roof sliding mechanism is a work of art and a pleasure to watch time and again
as opposed to a cabrio,no soft top involved
+ all you have outlined in your post
to me the targa in 4S guise seem to be the best looking,elegant and best proportioned current 911 and that was the main determining factor for purchase
here are a few pics
