Also, I never get pulled over in my Boxster, and had many more police incidents in my Mustang and 928. I don't see Boxsters as cop magnets at all, at least around here.
First, drive them as fast as I safely can - how do you determine what that speed is then? Cause unfortunately, you are not alone on the road out there. All it takes is for you to be zooming along at whatever your 'safety speed' is - and then all of a sudden someone pulls out in front of you. What do you do then? Hit him, or go into the ditch or try to change lanes quick and hope no one else is there? That's the thing. When you drive over the speed limit, you are risking everyones life, not just yours.
When I'm on the highway, I know if I can safely pass someone based on many factors, one of which is the speed of oncoming traffic. If you suddenly appear out of nowhere because you are zooming along far above the speed limit, that creates a huge issue for me if I'm in the middle of passing someone - someone that I could safely pass if you were obeying the law.
If you want to drive them super fast, take the car to the track or move to Germany and enjoy the Autobahn.
