Not sure what a "targa" top would be. How much of the roof
would
be removed? I would expect its top accounts for much of a
GT6's
stiffness. (Spitfires, being topless, have a bulkhead
behind the
seats instead.)
Of course, any stiffness lost from the top might be got back
by
installing a welded-in roll cage, or a Spitfire-like
bulkhead.
(IMHO)
