Quick is quick... granted I dont spray(wife wont let
me) so I do appreciate a N/A engine more thats quick
BUT alot of guys cry at my car because its light,
so its sorta the same thing, so I dont put any
stipulations on anyone as to how they do it

HP iS hp no matter how you look at it. guess nitro cars don't impress people.

Its Winter time and things are a little slow on Moparts so I would like to start a post about nitrous. Do posts posts about 9, 10, and 11 second cars impress you. I am old school and believe anyone should be able to achieve these times with NA combo's. Anybody can go out and spend 400.00 and bolt on a SYSTEM, open a valve, and push a button. What is the skill involved with this. Build a 11 second engine, add a bottle and brag about how fast your car is. I think we should have two fastest car lists on Moparts. One for NA and one for making HP the easy way. Old school racer here that takes pride in doing it the hard way. Heck even 8 second nitrous cars do nothing for me.

As a racer that is all Natural (NA) I race with guys with the as they say Bottle Baby. A cheap way to make HP and It's not as easy to make it work as some thinks. Parts/Timers/% of mix/Dry/Wet/and the expence of running it. I could put it on my 9 Sec car but It would be a ticking time bomb. You need to build your junk to handle the juice..

I like the idea about 2 different Fastest Mopar forms.. We all know that it takes Cubic Inches to make a mopar go fast. and to go faster we need Turbo's/Juice to compete.

In a word -"NO!Yes, there's skill involved in tuning & driving a nitrous car & yes, hp by any means is still hp, but let's keep in mind why it was used originally--- an easy way to increase hp in an engine when you don't have the time, money or extra skill to wring out the extra power. Automotive guys adopted it for their cars to cheat or gain a quick, easy edge & the "race was on" as they say for more hp.
Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the reason alot of us go into this car "thing" was to learn about engines & how to improve on them? Nitrous to me, seems like a skilled person's lazy way to improve performance. Never mind the expense & parts breakage issue, where is the fun searching for & finding that extra tenth or more of e.t. when all you have to do is boost the amount of juice & perhaps adjust a suspension piece & there you are!
Nope, sorry, I'll say-----nitrous doesn't impress me........
