Double standard on nitrous?
Why is it that people contest the use of nitrous as a viable means of making power? Im confused...
And when someone's putting down 700whp because of the nitrous, everyone bows down and sucks cock.... Why?
I like nitrous, I feel that it's the same as if you have to use racegas to run 20+psi, Your going to run out... or to take it down to an even lower level, it's just like filling your tank up before going to work.... your not going anywhere with out fuel.
Nitrous can be considered just as expendable as normal everyday petrol, or 110 octane...
Just my rant of the day... :shrug:

i dont admire or condone the use of nitrous or race gas to get your HP goals.
If i cant hit my HP goals w/ 93 octane and alot of boost, i move onto another platform that can support my goals.
Nitrous is an even more finite additive than fuel and has limited availability, same with race gas... i cant go down to the co'na store and get my tank filled or get some C16... which means, if i make 500 HP on a 75 shot and C16... ill be pussy-ified w/o that shit when im stuck in the middle of nowhere and can only find 93 octane.
For instance, the Talon has everything it needs to run Low 13's w/ a good driver, and can repeat this on the street withouth the aid of Nitrous or race gas... which makes Impromptu street races or stop-light jaunts that much more easier. Theres nothing that sucks more than not being able to play w/ some ricer or cocky 5.0 Fox-body and not having that Essential nitrous or C16 that you have built your motor and tuned your engine management around... when you depend on that stuff to make the horsepower you so desire and dont have the necessary means to produce that power, it suxors.
i dont bow-down or admire anyone who requires nitrous or race gas to make power numbers like that... My motto is "run what you brung". none of this shit like "Dude, i dont have race gas, i cant run you right now" Or "my bottle is almost empty, otherwise id kick your ass up and down the street"
seriously.
EDIT: im not shitting on anyone who uses Nitrous or C16 to make 700HP or whatever cuz i will give credit where credit is due. I would rather make 500 HP all the time, where ever i go, on pump gas than 700HP on C16 that i can only buy at one gas station on my side of the town and nitrous that i can only get filled at the other end of town.

Nitrous, like racegas, and normal gas, are just means of increasing power.
That's how I look at it, always have, always will.
I don't think nitrous, or racegas, or meth inj. etc, should be frowned uppon. I think it's ignorant and silly to think that using these tools is not the way to go.
You'll just never be as fast as the guy with the same setup as you, add a bottle....

"oh yea... i laid down 650hp at the wheels... but i only did it once cuz i lifted the head" That to me isnt worth it. i dont give a shit if i have bragging rights or whatever.
Id rather make 500 HP anytime i want, any place i want to rather than make 700HP 15 times, At the track, on saturday nights.
