Targa Top Trans Am
I've seen a few posts on them but not many recently. In fact I think this car belongs to someone on the boards. anyways I thought it was pretty cool, and its for sale.

Maybe I'm wrong, but wouldn't cutting the entire roof off a car decrease the over-all structural integrity of the vehicle by like, 95% 
I mean, the roof ties everything together does it not?
I have a hard-top and UMI full length sub-frame connectors and I still have squeaks and rattles if I run it hard enough. I can only imagine how much flex there is in that poor car with no roof holding it together. If you were to take a corner fast enough, the car would probably twist itself apart.
Heaven forbit you try to raise the car on a "swing arm" style hoist. It would probably fold in half
I realize that this was (supposedly) done by GM and Im assuming they made it a full frame car like the convertables but still.....
Looks cool, but ripping off the roof can't possibly be good for the car...
