I even do that on a 35mph limit stretch because its just plain fun. Yes I check intersections carefully before doing so, and abstain if it looks at all questionable.
every now and then someone feels they need to show me something and blow by at a ridiculous speed. A couple times an even faster car with lights flashing is in hot pursuit and I find them pulled over getting a chewing out and a ticket.
I dont race because most young inexperienced kids that do in powerful cars can't control the car properly and you will be lucky not to get wrecked when they wander all over the road.
Its cool though like you said to se that a Boxster does more than alright even in a straight line against more HP.
I attribute that to the lighter weight, so get next to a Miata and you will see how much weight matters
Mustang GT 3300 lbs
986 2800
Miata 2300

Yeah those Miata's probably don't do half bad. But id like to think we would walk away from one.
