Damn my car looks good in a hardtop. Scientific tests have proven that white is the best color for the S2000, you know. It's true. I read it in a magazine. Yep. The best. Bar none. That is why the one that is raced is white. Bestest there is.

I always found that white was best for race cars because it is cooler but mostly because it is easier to cover up mistakes with a spray can.. a ***** to match silver.

Aaaah, a common misconception. The physical properties of white paint actually make the car have less weight, being that white is an absence of all color, thereby there is no color to hold it down.

Convenience or science? Hmmmm, that's a tough one.

No air on the S2K. The shadow goes right to the inside edge. (Good air on the Porsche though).

I think "no air" wins this time!

well no, not really... it's because the rules for "Touring" do not allow wheels to deviate from the stock size, much the same as in the Solo 2 "stock" class rules. ... and there are no available aftermarket wheels that are the same size as the bizzaro S2000 wheels.

a good racing wheel in the S2000 sizes would weigh at least 5 or 6 lbs less per wheel than the stockers.

Oh. But I'll still swear by the color argument that I was making! It's the best! Really!

oh, I also decided to add my signature...
