Boxster S-panking

Heading to work today (late as usual) I got in between two Porsche Boxsters, one a black base model and another bright yellow S model. Sitting behind the S at the light I noticed he had after-market exhaust so I don't know what other mods he may or may not have had. Just as we started getting onto a big sweeping 2-lane ramp the black base model jumps hard into the open outside lane and nails it around me sitting behind the yellow S in traffic. Then they yellow S model pops out behind him and they both go tearing up the ramp, now clear of all the traffic. So I think "What the h*ll" and pop out too, kick it down, and see if I can catch up since they were already well onto the ramp. I was very surprised that I ran them down by the apex of the ramp and glued myself to to their tails as they were getting onto the highway. The S and I were going around the black one by then when the road straightened out into a 4-lane highway and I was all over the S up past 90. I was matching his speed after 100 and not pulling on him anymore. But I think they were surprised to see me show up at their ramp party. And I think the yellow guy thought that once he shook the base model he was going to do the same to the little C-Class on his bumper--but no dice. At that point I couldn't pass him but I could stay right with him.

It looked like this but with tricked out exhaust showing, I am assuming it was a newer model ...
