For starters its n2o, second most people that bought these cars dont drive for a professional race team. They drive to work and want a fun car.

There is only 3 cars i know of currently engineered for drag racing, COPO Camaro, Cobra jet Mustang and Drag Pak Challenger. That means all import drag racers are missing the point i guess right?

Lol driving to work, the perfect time to spray some NAWS.

I guarantee the first reaction that Tada and Toyoda are going to have if they ever hear of someone putting nitrous on this car, is this:

Haha.. It's amazing how much power Tada holds over our bank-financed cars, eh? (;

Super/turbo charged additions to this car make perfect sense. These are power adders that are always available, and always on. It makes perfect sense for this vehicle because they are available at any speed, any throttle position, and any driving situation.

Nitrous is the complete opposite. It's only usable at WOT and for a few seconds at a time. It's one of the most idiotic things you could do to a car that was created to enjoy in the twisties. I guarantee you no one is going to use nitrous injection on a track with a turn. If you want to go all redneck and spray nitrous into a FR-S to make it run 14.0 instead of 15.0 quarter mile, be my guest. It's the equivalent of dropping a truck on airbags and trying to compete in autocross. Hilarious.

Nitrous isn't my cup of tea, but it is a great bang for the buck power adder. When done correctly (not an overly aggressive shot) it isn't unreasonably hard on the engine. It cools the air charge which is a real benefit. You can also stage it so it isn't as abrupt. Losing somebody in the turns and then keeping them from reeling you in on the straights doesn't sound pointless to me.

I'm sorry but that doesn't make any logical sense. Airbags on a pick up would make it incapable of performing its intended function of hauling shit. Nitrous does nothing to harm the performance of the twin in fact, I don't see any reason why nitrous wouldnt assist the car's intended function... going fast for cheap. I imagine if done right and executed properly nitrous could be fun and reliable but I'm not the one to take a risk like that. Hopefully someone will do some write ups/reviews and let us know how long it lasts.

And you just proved my point. This is like arguing with a fence post. It's still a truck...
