Low 13's? All the 05 S2K's i've seen are mid 11's easy, but those guys got the paddle shifter option. I'd bring it in for a checkup or something...

Isn't gold really heavy, malleable and expensive? None of those are good attributes for a metal to make a wheel out of. I think you'd be better off getting them made out of carbon fiber in an underwater basket-weave pattern. Don't forget to make sure they leave gaps in the weave so air doesn't get trapped between the wheel and the tire.

Now that everyone has had their fun, his profile:

Home Page No Information
Birthday 22 July 1988
Location Castro Valley
Interests No Information
Model Year 2004
Exterior Color Silverstone Metallic
Interior Color Black
Is your S2000 your daily driver? Yes
Search Time No Information
Do you own an S2000? Yes

So, it's a typo and a boasted low 13s

I suggest you restate you question in the tires forum leaving out the times and you will probably get the answer to your question.

Ummm - how does he own an S2000 and run 13's if he won't be 16 until Thursday???

I think this post brings up a very important point. Our schools have failed for the past few decades to teach grammar to our nation's youth. Due to budget and time constraints, educators decided young people would simply "pick up" rules of grammar as they go. Obviously, this plan was foolhardy. Rather than reinstating grammar lessons, it appears they have now removed SPELLING from the curriculum. Young people like NightS2k need to band together and cry out with one voice: "wat do we havez do 4 us too get educate?!"

Ok, now I feel like an ass. NightS2k: happy birthday, man. I know its easy to bench race and talk 1/4 miles with your buddies at school. But when you do get a car, be careful. Also, if you really want to get into motorsports, I would advise you try going to a few autocrosses. You will learn much more about car control and have a much more rewarding experience. Drag racing is a sport of spending tons of money on your car for each 1/10th of a second you gain. Autocrossers certainly can spend their fair share on shocks and tires, but the sport focuses much less on spending money and much more on driving skill, which will keep you out of trouble on the street.
