As much of a danger as a Tahoe going 55.

No way.
Granted, the Boxster may handle better than a Tahoe, but the Tahoe decelerates from 60-0 mph in 143 ft. A Boxster GTS decelerates from 70-0 mph in 142 ft. At almost 150 mph, the Boxster would slam into any inanimate object almost 300 ft. away.
I read an article once about a motorcyclist in Europe who was doing 150 mph on a roadway. He encountered a van entering the roadway from a side street. The motorcycle slammed violently into the side of the van, embedding itself in the vehicle. Investigators determined that the motorcyclist didn't have enough time to even begin to apply the brakes. THAT'S what 150 mph is like.
Just sayin'...........
