Fact is: At highway speeds (75-115), the 300c should pull pretty hard on the Boxster S.

Okay, this is actually starting to annoy me. You are ignoring physics altogether. The chrysler is MUCH heavier
F = M * A (force = mass * acceleration). Therefore the 300 requires about 25% more force to accelerate at the same rate as the boxster.
The 300C has at least 30% larger aerodynamic cross section which means that the air is acting like a 360 lb weight on the 300C at 100MPH (given a reasonable drag coefficient) where the Boxster would be pushing about 240lb.
Now, if you're talking about the 425HP $50k SRT-8, yes, that car will pull on a Boxster S for a while. The standard Hemi just doesn't have that much in the way of performance.
