THE WITZL Forums Junkie Toymods Social Secretary Location: Sydney Registered: July 2002	Re: Buying a MKIII Supra Tue, 25 March 2003 09:06 i would have to agree with what Josh has said here. The structural/torsional rigidity of the car would definitely be compromised in a comparison of mrk3 hardtop and targa top. Why? Since there is no solid metal in place at the top of the car, the car's chassis is able to bend along the torsional axis. Compare the chassis rails and door sills of the hardtop and targa tops - you will notice that there in fact is no difference between their size/stregth! Whereas on most NEW european convertible/targa top cars that also have a hardtop version, the targa top version will have a larger door sill, which is obviously stronger (barina and RX7 series 5 are good examples) to compensate for the reduced rigidity of the car's frame. I have had this testimony from 3 different mark 3 owners, all of whom had compared the hardtop and targa top - and eventually decided the hardtop was the better option for rigidity. Although, that said - targa tops are DAMN COOL! Its all up to preference really. Oh - and people, there is no need to take what another says as a personal attack and get all defensive about it! This is a public forum, people exchange information like in a conversion - you wouldnt blast your head off at someone for saying that in a conversion whould you? [Report message to a moderator]
