NOS is Power is an ooold screename that I've had since the 7th grade, back in the day when I dreamed my first car would be a Honda Civic SI lowered, with intake and exhaust and ::shudder:: bodykit.

Nitrous Oxide should be respected though, it's cheap and it's instant power in a bottle.

I respect it when it blows someone's engine....that's about it. To me, a real car doesn't use NOS....but that's my opinion, don't let it rain on your parade.

Never heard of it. And I'm still sticking with my opinion. A real sports car will absorb its driver with the sound of its engine, not the hiss of a bottle of laughing gas.

Just because it comes from the factory doesn't mean I still don't count it as cheating in my book.
