Porsche Boxster fun...

Well that was an awesome drive back from the North Shore. Had a Boxster on my *** coming down H2 into H1 and he paced me til we were in the clear. I thought those had more power, but I guess not. He was pacing me and we both sorta glanced over and I dropped into 3rd and I assume he did the same. Came around a nice sweeping corner near the 78 interchange at over 110 (those bumps are fun at that speed) and opened it up on the straightaway. I got up above 130 before running into traffic. First time I had opened it up really and it felt pretty good. Not sure if they have different levels of Boxsters, but I was a bit unimpressed. I guess they are basically Porsche Miatas. Oh he was atleast 10 lengths behind me after the turn. It seemed to handle the bumps pretty nice as he was a bit ahead of me and I could see his ride, I got a bit outta shape on the last bump, but still felt controllable. And this was with A/C and Disturbed blaring. All in all it was a fun time. He was cool as well, threw up a shaka as he exited the freeway.

Right on Dave (in no way do I support this display of speed haha)! But that sounds about right.....you got atleast 40 horses and 70 lb-ft of torque (if it was a S) on him so you should've pulled pretty hard on him....but you'd also need it on a long run....I think the boxter S hits 160mph +.
