Discounting for the moment that "racing" on the freeway is idiotic, both cars will be pretty even unless one of the drivers chooses the wrong gear.
The published curb weight of a Boxster S is 2855lb. Any time you accelerate, weight (or more accurately, mass) matters. Even at highway speeds.

Agreed on the idiotic freeway antics.
