Hello....

Wanted to share some pix of my new ride: had it about a month.....
2007 Targa 4S in Guards Red with P47SC wheels by HRE in 19.
Black leather, black mats w/ lettering, heated seats, powerseat pack,
self dimming mirrors, Bose Sound, Sport Chrono Pack and NAV for PCM.
It had 30,001 when I brought it home....and I have about 1000 on the clock myself.....an excellent car for driving!







these Turbo wheels came with the car....and are nice indeed! just needed a
change!


thanx for looking

 

Very nice, congratulations. I did not realize that targa's hatch-back opens like that. Is it useful for anything?

 

Awesome! My cars twin!! Congratulations!!

Yes the hatch is great for groceries and holds six packs perfectly!

 

I also have a 2007 T4S and the hatch is great for my golf clubs!

 

Rear hatch is usefull , just make sure not wearing belt or have anything metallic [ ie jacket zipper] that can potentially cause you to ruin your day.

 

thank you! yes, it opens, but I have not used it for anything....
it's a third car only meant for fun
haha, nice to know there are more!
thanks for the comment
that's awesome, don't play golf, but it's good to know it's being utilized

couple more shots

 

Rotes Congrats on your purchase !! That's a great looking Targa 4S and looks really clean. Is this your first Porsche then ? I would also consider a set of H&R Sport Springs to lower the car 1.2". Enjoy on keep us posted

 

 

my collection

 

Noticed the fan/temp ***** on your A/C control unit are worn. Unfortunately you cannot buy just the plastic *****. You either have to disassemble and refurb the current ones or replace the whole unit. Whatever you do, do not use a black Sharpie for a temp fix - the ink shows a purple tint.

 

very nice looking cars.... I just got out of my10 E550.

 

Wow all those cars you must be rich. I never even was aware that late model cars were offered in a Targa. Learn something new everyday. Welcome and thanks for sharing that fine car.

 

I agree. The Targas look even better when lowered, even just 3/4". Enjoy the car. Loved my Targa when I had it. But love the cab just a little more. Wish I could have one of each!

 

Love the Targa so much... I miss mine. Had the same Turbo I wheels. Wish all 911's had that hatch. IMO it's super-useful and doesn't detract from the sportiness at all (if you disagree, just pretend it's not there
I personally wouldn't mess with the springs on any 997 but on a Targa you have the added complication that they are properly tuned from Porsche to support that heavy roof.
BTW if you ever get squeaking in the cold (very common to 997 Targas) then check out past threads on McLube spray -- it works wonders.

 

Do you know for sure that the suspension on the Targa4s is any different than a C4S? I don't think so. The weight difference is so small - within variations in driver sizes. I seem to recall that the proper Bilstein Damptronic coilovers are the same for both Targa 4S and C4S.
