People say "porsches aren't good for straight lines", but the boxster is pretty decent at highway speeds, I've been incredibly surprised at what I've managed to keep up with.

here's a short list of the more interesting vehicles
--308hp V8 SL500 Mercedes
--New 300+ hp V6 Maxima
--New 300+ hp V6 Infiniti G37
--287hp V6 Nissan 350z
--2011+ Charger R/T... suppose to be 370hp V8 Hemi?? That was very interesting, because I thought it was a 292hp V6 the whole time, didn't know until I looked up what R/T had that it was a V8. Car was new, still had temp tags and the new car invoice on the side window, so unlikely it was a fake R/T. Maybe new driver didn't know how to press pedal? They only come with an automatic so can't blame bad shifting. Only thing I can think is they're heavy, 4,300 lbs, but still, shouldn't have been close.

i know, this list is unbelievable, i should have lost to all of them. I can't explain it
Did they know they were 'racing'?
