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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Want a real car? I had one of these:
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.
You must have the fastest car on the planet. I'll bet someone like you who just seems to know it all has never been beat.
Gee, sorry if you got your panties all in a bunch, because someone didn't agree with you, or was happy with what they had.
Thank you Mr. Know It All for posting here and enlightening us. It's been quite an experience. NOT.
