The Targa sunroof is much larger, and the glass top makes the car feel more open even when the sunroof is closed. It is also a very unique and distinguished looking car. When I had one, it used to get a lot of attention at the local Cars and Coffee.

I agree. As I noted before, I think the coupe looks sportier than the cab, and the turbo is the mostest sporty looking of the coupes, though the GT3 RS 4.0 is up there too.

I bought the hardtop ($400) so I can track it when I want to without the hassle of trying to put a roll bar in it. Plus it's nice to have during the depth of winter to keep it a little warmer inside. With the top painted to match the body, most people from 10' away don't even notice it is a cab with a hard top on it.

For just looks, I would say with the top up a coupe is prettier. With my top down, well convertibles are just prettier. If you want that 0.1 seconds faster and you plan to race or track it then of course go coupe. I love having the option personally and would never not own a convertible again. There is nothing like the feeling of driving on a nice day and/or in a nice area with the top down in my opinion.

Now if we were talking Turbo, I'd go coupe for sure. Just love Larry's monster. However, I think this looks pretty good too (and a little on the aggressive side).
