The main difference between a 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera and a Porsche 911 Targa lies in their body styles. The Carrera is a coupe with a fixed roof, while the Targa features a removable roof panel and a distinctive roll bar, combining elements of both coupe and convertible designs. Both models share similar performance characteristics and engine options, but the Targa offers a more open-air driving experience. Additionally, the Targa typically weighs slightly more due to its added structural components.
The sticker price for a 1987 Porsche Carrera Targa in the US was approximately $45,000. This figure could vary slightly based on optional features and packages. The Carrera Targa was known for its distinctive design and performance, making it a popular choice among sports car enthusiasts at the time.
Approximately $40,000 without any options.

The first Porsche 993 was produced in late 1993. The main variant, the Carrera, was the first out of the production line; the Targa in 1996, and the Turbo variant in 1995.
The Carrera has coupe (hardtop) and cabriolet (convertible, fabric roof) trims. A Targa is a semi-convertible: older models had a removable roof section. Recent models (starting from the 993, in 1996) have glass roofs with the body of the Cabriolets, instead of the latter's fabric.
A Porsche Carrera is a trim offered on the 911 model range. the 911 current range is: Carrera (aka Carrera 2 in reference to the rear 2WD) Carrera S (bigger faster engine) Carrera 4 (which adds 4 wheel drive) Carrera 4S Targa (removable hard roof) Targa S GT3 (lightened psudo racing version) GT3RS (even lighter than the GT3) Turbo (adds turbochargers) GT2 (lightened racing version of the Turbo) Convertable tops are available on all the Carrera models, the Turbo, and traditionally the GT2 but it is not yet released for this generation. The convertables are called Cabriolets (ex: Carrera 4S Cabriolet) In reference to said vehicles, the specific trim name or the term 911 can be correctly used interchangibly or in combonation --- And Carreras are a little cheaper... it's very affordable @ about $60,000 for a new one... And 924 Carrera GT (see link)
Targa Literally Means " Shield" or " Plate" . The name comes from a famous race Porsche always did well in . The Targa Florio . The prize was the "Florio Shield" The name Targa was then adopted for the now Iconic Porsche Targa.
