Default Couldn't pass a box..

I was having some fun with a boxster (2.7) yesterday, but couldn't pass him on dual carrage way, I was two up with a full boot and he was one up, and the dual carrage way was reasonable uphill. Should I have been able to pass him, he couldn't get the jump on me but I would have thought I would have been able to pass him??

It depends on current running speeds but I think what happened was about right at significant speed. The differences are minimal.

I usually find a boot full of stuff evens up the race for slower cars, too.

Reams of paper are dense, so are crates of Becks.

CTRs are actually then slightly quicker off the line.

Really sort of kept the same distance from him.... I thought it might be because my all up weight was higher
and it was up hill..It was from 20 through about 80 kph

You sure he was driving the right way? You can never tell with those Boxters which way they are going!
