I know top speed isn't the goal with our cars, but I'm wondering what and who has made changes that address the lift issue associated with the negative pressure immediately behind the targa top? Someone once told me these cars lift badly over 100 mph. Any ideas / solutions besides huge aerodynamic add ons?
