Got smoked by a boxster S today
I was coming back from the mall earlier today and i was cruising the bypass at about 70mph when a orange boxster S merged onto the highway a couple cars behind me. i looked back and said tomyself, "orange boxster...ehh 
" i kept driving. the next time i looked in my rearview i noticed the boxster was coming up quick. i downshifted to fourth and switched to the right lane to see how things would turn out. the boxster flew right by. i gunned it to try and keep up and suddenly the back wing on the porsche rose up and we were off. i topped out fourth gear at a little over 100mph and and switched to fifth. the boxster was at least at 120 mph and pulling away. two cars were in both lanes side by side. the boxster cut the middle and got through. by the time i got there the cars were side by side with no room to make a move. race results: porsche 1, civic 0. oh well..

BTW, did the tag say "exotic cars" on it instead of a license plate? cause i have this one asshat that rolls up into my gas station trying to look cool in his yellow lambo, with that tag on it lol.

But I don't know about a boosted vic.At my track I seen a stock 05 S run a 13.2 @ 106
I also didn't see a wing come up either.There must be a switch to shut it off.
