Yea, I think I'd spend an extra $150 for someone like NOS to build this instead of me. Dunno, it would probably work just fine but...

Nitrous Oxide is what the rice burners use instead of raw horsepower. To much can go wrong and I would rather see them burn up their pistons than see it used on a vett

There is nothing more inevitable than a bad idea whos' time has come.
Ricers don't have good sense anyway. I think we should just give them some dynamite and matches to play with.

Bottles are for babies. Looks like there should be a roll of duct-Tape on the parts list. Plus, I could just see the hood flying right off the car immediately after turning the ignition.

the person "motorhead" who runs this sight has several turbo busas, his fast bike is making over 600 rwhp. last year he went to bonneville to the salt flats and ran 257mph+- each way and set a land speed record. makes my 300hp turbo hayabusa seem like a *****

i sold my busa a year ago, believe it or not i got board.... after a while running 9.0 @ 167 seemed slow.. on the way to new england drag two years ago i taped a gps to my tank, top speed 218mph, that was a new experience. i went by a mini winibego like he was sitting still, only after my run did i start to question how smart it was since if that driver changed lanes i would have been a bug spot on the back side of the truck towing the trailer.

Actually, at that speed you would be a bug spot on the front of his windshield. Man that's gotta be a rush, maybe I should get a bike...
