I had the great pleasure of driving a 2006 Boxster S on a Treffen trip in Germany
on the autobahn with the top up the speedo said 155 mph. A Cayman S with us
managed 160. That trip, and the smooth solid feel of the Boxster is why I bought
one. When I was quite young (and stupid) I had a 350 HP AMC Javelin that I got up to 142 mph (calculated). It was one of the most scary experiences in my life. It
felt like if someone had spit on the back end, I would just fly off the road. I never
tried that again. I was matching speed with a Camaro. I regained a little sanity
when we reached the next uphill and slowed down to the posted limit. He wasn't
so smart (or lucky) a few miles later I saw him pulled over by a state trooper.
