Pulled the trigger today, my first 911, not my first Porsche. Built and due to arrive in about 4 weeks. Will be daily driver, I live in Northeast so felt Targa offered best of both worlds (coupe/cab). Not to much snow most of the time, but will put the right shoes on and enjoy my German snow mobile. Here are specs (dealer ordered might have passed on gas cap):

I like Targas.
Silver and cocoa is a great combo, can't wait to see some pics.
Excellent choice of car, enjoy.

 

that should be a great car. First I've seen the "Fuel Tank Cap Aluminum Look" option-makes me want to go out and see what my standard cap looks like-really never paid much attention-those Porsche folks know how to make an extra buck or two.
Hope you get it in time for some fall cruising.

 

That's a great build. Please post photos of the Targa when you get it.

 

You will love it. Just got back from long drive in my Targa 4S sure makes a bad day better. Mine is not a DD but sure is a great car. I have maybe 4 more months till my Turbo S Cab comes in then it will make someone else a great car

Congrats and Pics when it arrives.

 

Saw the platinum @ the dealer today, nice color.
Best silver with cocoa. Great choice.
Love the full roof glass.
Congrats.

 

I like the Targa too. Best of luck enjoying many happy miles through the looking glass before winter arrives.

 

Nice move "Costanza"... Can't wait to see pics.

 

72: that sounds like an awesome build.
+1 on color combo. Pics would be great, but that will really show well in person. Very nice...

I bought my cap from Suncoast and I'm very happy with it. My wife doesn't get it at all - "Why would you spend $xxx.xx on something so silly that nobody will even see?"
But - it puts a smile on my face every time I fili 'er up!
Here's a photo I took of mine on the car:



btw - it comes with the pieces to make it hang by the little rubber strap, but I cut all that off...

 

That's one awesome looking Targa! Please post pics when you get her.

 

Congrats - Really Awesome build. Excellent 1st 911

 

It will be good to see how Platinum Silver look on a 911.

 

Nice... Congrats.... We are the few with Targa's...

 

Have nearly an identical non-S Targa in an '09. The PDK is terrific for a daily driver.
Would never have thought that cocoa leather would look right in a sports car. Man was I wrong.
It's spectacular.
And it's real!

 

Need I say it ... Picture please ...
actual several if you can. Thanks.
