Is it maybe heavier (wider) tires or the weight of the car?
The car in question being a targa my bet is on the general weight of the car.

The Targa is a little heavier, ~150lbs than a C2, ~50lbs lighter than a Cab
Overall, ~ 300lbs heaver than a Boxster S
Mine does have wider 19's and my Boxster has 18's
In any case, it does seem to require a little more pressure on the brakes for the same effect. At the time, both had factory pads and rotors and both the Boxster S and The C2/Targa/Cab have the same brakes
