Wind for a targa

this is my second post. This is a terrific board. Almost all of the posts make sense. I am probably the oldest person around taking delivery of a car. I am expecting my 12th porsche in about 2 weeks, and yes, i am 69 years old. Targa c4s with manual.
The custom work you see on this board is fantastic. i wonder if others would consider a wing for this car and if so which.
thanks
drjay2

Hi Dr. Jay,

I had a 993 Targa for 9 years and the targa top was open 90% of the time with driving.

I will not put a wing on this car as it is more like a touring GT than race type sport car to me.

997 c4s

One of my favorite porches was -73 carrera targa-I think the year was 73. The top was hard and came off. It was the first wide body year and Iloved the car. i bought the car new for 16k. I took my father for a ride and he asked now much I paid. i was embarrased and told him 10k. he laughed as said he had a 37 ford which drove better. I blew about 12 air boxes (they were card board I think).
This new targa is a mist olive (extremely dark green), I have the sports exhaust, the chrono (don't know why because i don't think I can tell the diffence)- manual with sport shifter. I tested a 95 turbo and thought the 997S actually drove better and was more fun. i have had 3 turbos-one with a tip that I did not love. One was a 96TT which was great.
