We caught her. Thanks to everyone who offered advice and encouragement.
We now think that she was only in the garage for a few seconds. Originally, I saw her racing up the left side of the garage, and disappear under the car. I raced up the middle of the garage to hit the close button, then ran back to stop or at least watch her run out. I didn't see her leave, so we assumed she was still in the garage. It's more likely that she made a U-turn at high speed (she's very fast) and was gone before I could turn around.
I put signs up, and our two-doors-down neighbor called to say he had seen her in his yard. Later, we saw her in our yard. Yesterday, I borrowed a live trap from a rescue, baited it with sardines, and we caught her soon after dark.
In putting the Boxster back together, I found I had bent the top, but I'll start a new thread for that one.
