Nice.......

if you can't fit in the car.....make the car fit you!

it's great for all of the 7 foot tall folks who always wanted a C4!

you may not get clutch replacement parts but at least we'll have this!��

It would be easier, and make about as much sense to just use a recipricating saw and cut a hole in the original top for your head to stick through...Look at all the money you would save......WW

You don't have a problem with the top hitting your head, do you Pete?..

No Sir, there is at least 3 feet between my head, and the targa with a headliner.

For you nOObs, I'm not telling a lie here. There are plenty of witnesses.

Jeez, if a C4 owner is that tall, he'd need a windshield extension as well, to complete the ensemble.
Who's the bigger moron...the designer or the buyer?

I know a guy who is around 6' 6" and he cut a hole in the targa top and then fiberglassed in a bulge so he could race with his helmet on and not hit the roof. It's a spare top and he only uses it while racing.

This is the dual inlet version

Sounds like what Ford did with the GT40.
I think it was Dan Gurney that had a problem with the height of the top so they formed a bubble in it and IIRC it's called something like the Gurney Bubble or Bump model.
