If it was from a 60mph roll i hope you started in 3rd gear and not 4th, but I have a feeling you had it in 4th gear the whole race. I raced a 285hp(not wheel) modded WRX from a 65 roll twice. The first time I was in 3rd and I took him by at least two lenghs when my speedo hit 100mph. The 2nd time I started in 4th and the result flipflopped and he won by about 2 or so lenghs. This shows just how important it is to race at the start of the boxster's max powerband because it doesn't have the lowend grunt of a small block chevy. Let the vario-cam do it's job!
