Hi,

In a straight line... that's about what I would imagine. Shifting Manually might have given you a slight edge, although the Peak HP on a '99 comes at 6k RPM, so maybe not. But then again, there may be things he could have done to improve his run as well. The Boxster, in any form really, is not a racer despite what some may think...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
