In my opinion, nitrous is for those too lazy to do the real planning and the hard work necessary to build a fast car or else it's for teenagers who saw The Fast and the Furious and thought it was based on reality, where every little four-cylinder grocery getter just needs a lot of stickers and 'Nawwwws' IN YOUR DREAMS!!!!! Nitrous like anything else is a tool to get the maximum performance and HP out of an engine. I bet you say the same thing about Supercharging too huh?
Nitrous is for lazy people? HA! You spec out an inline 6 and design a custom fogger kit for it. Upgrade your FI, intakes, custom valve work, yadda, yadda, yadda and see how far you get upping the horsepower on a stock 4.0 litre 190HP rated motor and see where you get.
Run into a putrid little "pony car" with my bottle empty? Been there, done that. Still beat 'em. I just like the looks on their faces when the pull up to the next light, and they know they got beat real bad!
Want a real car? I had one of these:
390 Cubic Inches of the baddest motor on the planet. It was called the Vette Killer for a reason - because it ate 454 big block Vettes for lunch! Boy, do I miss that car. Too bad I rolled it...

I bet you say the same thing about Supercharging too huh?I'll admit that nitrous is here to stay, unfortunately, as it offers a shortcut to performance, especially in what would otherwise be slow vehicles. Yeah, it's a 'tool', like steriods are a 'tool' for a weight lifter. It's a chemical enhancement, no more. Supercharging is a permanete mechanical accessory bolted to the to the engine that runs at all times, whenever the engine is running.A supercharger doesn't depend of refilling a bottle to be effective and as such is a valid performance enhancement, unlike short-lived nitrous refills.

Big deal. You could just buy a performance V-8 car from Chevrolet or Ford and be done with it without all the engine work necessary to make grocery-getters actually compete with muscle cars. Nitrous is for people who think having a 'fast' Civic or Jeep is somehow radical and individualistic. Waste of time and money, in my opinion.

Uh huh, sure you do. Hey, this is the internet, where every guy that ever owned anything close to a 'performance car' claims to have easily beaten every fast car ever made, for 100 miles in any direction. Especially Mustangs and Camaros - and no one ever lost to a 'Vette, ever. Right.
With no way to ever come close to verifying these fantastic claims, the bragging is meaningless to me.

Now I know we're in fantasy land. An AMX? Spare me. No wonder you think a Jeep with a nitrous kit is cool.
See ya.
