Funny thing is I have people ask me all the time if the top comes off, at least a dozen times, it just looks like it does. That is a really nice PS job

targa.. ftw!

I love my Z as it is.....but if a T top or targa came out I would trade it in a heart beat. I dont even care if I loose cash on the car in the process. The older 300zx is so sick they should have done the same thing with the 370.

T-Tops by far.

T tops.
The discussion about body flex, lesser handling, etc is in our heads from years of reading and hearing it from others (I belief too - eg. Boxter vs Cayman slalom) . I had the 300 ZX tt which had the sport suspension, HICAS, vs non turbo convertible to choose from in 1995. So it was a simple choice: I had always wanted a rag top, but the t tops on the twin turbo gave me the best of both worlds. It turns out my gal hates the wind and sun on her face, so I could run with only the drivers side top removed. While not perfect, a compromise we could both live with.

Re scratching T tops: I was always carful to painstakingly put them in their supplied pouches, then strap them down. Maybe two minutes for both. Since I used the same care I always give my cars, I never had a scratch.

Biggest draw back to t tops: Poor storage option. Once I got to the store I had to put them back on to get the groceries in the trunk. My buddy had a Honda "Del Sol" which had a place in trunk lid that accepted the hard top. Then he could still use the trunk for something. Hats off to Honda engineers.

so glad i found this thread! every since i bought my nismo i thought about how sick it would look with a targa top. someone who has the skills should photoshop a red nismo with the targa. It would be much appreciated thanks

Targa...oh yeah!

G Fo12ce · 08-11-2010, 01:42 PM

LOVED the targa on my Supra.

PapoZalsa · 08-11-2010, 09:02 PM

I had a 90 300ZX with T-Tops and I like it.

My first NSX had an after market sunroof, and the MR-2 had glass T-tops, and while I rarely (never?) opened them, I really like a glass roof.

I think a large glass moonroof (self darkening, of course) or a glass Targa would be nice. Solid removable panels like newer NSX aren't as attractive to me.

A folding hard top or flipping, ala Ferrari Superamerica, would be really neat.

the biggest thing I miss about my 300ZX is the t-tops but I also would prefer a Targa, if they made one I'd be at the dealer right now trading up
