I have been an aircooled geek for 20 years and am thinking about getting a recent Targa 4 or 4S. I have not been able to find a good review of these cars compared with regular Carreras as to performance due to weight of the glass and what not. Any thoughts?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Wow, it must be a really, really popular car choice given all the sage advice I have provocated here
Pelican's boards don't have a real big fan base for water cooled Porsches. You might try Rennlist or Renntech, if you haven't discovered them already.
Thanks rrrockhound. Are you a geologist, by chance?

You called it. I am.
Thanks guys. Useful reading. I spoke with the local dealership yesterday about finding a Targa 4 or 4S and he said it is really hard and I will most likely need to order. He strongly recommended this new 7 speed automatic that Porsche has made. That I found surprising and a little heretical until he let me drive a Carrera 4S with both a 6 spd and the 7spd auto. I get it now. And greetings to you rrockhound from a fellow rockdoc.
That must be one hell of an auto. Good luck finding the Porsche of your dreams.
