My little encounter with a Porsche Boxter...

No, I didn't win. You could tell the dude wanted to play though. We mashed the gas to like 80mph in a 50mph. I know the place well and there's no place for the cops to hide for a long long stretch of road. We basically accelerated smoothly up to 80mph and then he backed off. Although I went into 3rd to do it and he was probably in 5th. Hehe... Anyway, I don't get why he didn't downshift and show me that he could spank me easily? I don't know whether is was a Boxter or Boxter S? Even if it was just a plain old boxter he had 192 lb-ft. Anyway, I'm just happy that he wanted to play with a civic. Even though it was only for a little while...

That's an easy one...when he pulled by, did he have dual exhausts in the back together, or was it a singular pipe...dual is the S, singular is the base model. Other than that, I think you'd need to see the wheels and brake components up close (not rolling) to see what kind it is...the S's have some serious rotor action going on...
