Default Ran a Porsche Boxter last night

It was about 12:30ish last night and I got a little bored. I've got a nice 15mile round trip route for my "late night cruises," so thats what I did. Anyhow, I end up being first at a red light. A first gen Porsche Boxter is behind me. I'm distracted by a blue E46 M3 in the turning lane next to me. The pretty M car made me happy so I wanted a spirited launch. I launched from 5000 and didnt even notice the Boxter was trying to keep up with me. He hoped into the lane next to me and attempted to pass. There was at least a car length between us the whole time. Both of our tops were up. I shut down at 70, b/c I was already doing 15over. He continued to pass and gave me a nod of approval as he went by. I got pretty excited, I beat Porsche. It was no 911 but whatever... Honda>Porsche

^ Doable. Good kill! If you have seen any of the S2000 vs Boxter vs 350Z etc. videos on youtube you would know the new Boxter is still slow as crap... It finished 12 seconds behind the S2000

Old Boxster was slow compared to the S2000, new Boxster is a very close match to the S, new Boxster S is way faster
