I've had my car 6 months and no one has tried to race me.

to me - the boxster isn't the kind of car that I would expect to draw challenges to race on the street...

EVOs, STis.... those are hte cars I expect to see racing each other...

although, I guess those guys want to race anyone, and they would probably like to say they "beat a Porsche"... I don't give them the satisfaction...

it would be fun, however, to find one of those idiots on a track and then show him your taillights..as he realizes that his "pffft" blow off valve, airplane wing, and giant stickers, don't help much on a track... I would bet that on a tirght track where hp is less crucial than handling, even a base boxster would have no problem hanging iwth or beating a lot of those AWD rice rockets...
