I wouldn't kick a 996 C4S out of my garage.  I'd rather have a 997 C2S with factory aero kit tho!

I also don't see the C4S being 10k better than a regular c2/c4. I kinda do wish there had been cheapish 996 Targas when i bought mine, though. They're a little awkward looking but the experience might be worth it. I usually forget the sunroof on my 996 exists and i'm not sure what it's there for other than to break and become a pain in my ass. It's too small, imo. 

I keep forgetting Vigo has a 996.

I hope to forever be known for touting odd, near-free E36 M3boxes. Seriously!

I am harming that you have added another vehicle to my shopping list.  This is now in with my XJR and AMG Hunt.

I bought the nicest Targa I could find, paid 22k for it, so not nearly as cheap as some. However, it is interesting that the back is still usable with front seat a little forward in my experience, that is with tall 12 and 14 year olds carrying trumpets and backpacks. I know the Targa adds rear headroom, I never really considered that part when purchasing but maybe that is helping. I still drive it most days and take both my kids to school. Jcamper

The best part about the Targa is the rear hatch.  Really makes it practical.  I saw a nice Targa the other day for $16.9k, but it had gray interior, which I don’t prefer.

Friend has a 997 Targa 4S.  I've been waiting for him to get bored of it...

How much would you be selling your ZHP for when the time comes? 

IDK...it has new Apex arc-8 wheels, new tires, Redish rear subframe mount weld-in reinforcements, all new bushings, GC coilovers, diffsonline 3-clutch LSD, and on and on. I paid $10k for it from fellow GRMer dyintorace a couple years ago before the full suspension, bushing refit, coilovers, etc. I’d like to get $10k back out of it. I think I put 11k miles on it in 2.5 years.

How many miles in total now? I don't recall where it was at the time of your purchase. It looks awesome and I do need a car...
