Hey guys, I've run a few searches, but I was wondering if anyone has a definitive answer as to whether there are any "targa friendly" rear wings out there, and if so, which ones/manufacturers. Is it safe to assume a wing that would work on a 997 cab would also work for a 997 targa?

My dad has an 07 997 C4S targa, and he'd like to know what wing options are out there. Thanks, Scott.

 

anyone?

 

Can't really answer your question directly. I don't think Targa's are the target market for wings. Targa's compromise a little bit on pure performance for the nice roof and AWD ... putting a spoiler on could give the impression that you're schizo about what you want the car for.

 

I agree that targa's aren't the target market, but disagree its because of the type of buyer that is attracted to targas. Rather, I think its more a result of their scarcity, and thus, the size of the market. If it were otherwise, you wouldn't see wings manufactured for cabs, which in my opinion is even a greater compromise in terms of performance (in fact, that is why my Dad chose a targa...many of the benefits of a cab, but just a little more hardcore).

 

I don't think there is any difference between the Targa and a Carerra/Cab engine cover, so I'd expect the same parts to fit. That said, only the TT spoiler/wing seems to look right, and that requires more significant rework to ensure the air-inflow is ducted correctly to the engine intakes.
