Since we have a good many people here, lets check and see where you are from and what you pay for noz prices? I am thinking about this and have been for abit, but I'm finding some really nasty prices local. Is it better to buy online?
NOS is and has always been expensive. Thats why its considered so “hot” to have it on your car. Its more expensive than big rims or fancy tires to use NOS on a regular basis. I'd be concerned about buying online and shipping, but my UPS driver is an idiot.
I know if a couple people that have went out of state to get their own bottles, but I really don't want to do that (with the price of gas lately). I just figured maybe someone out there has purchased online from a reputable company and could lead me in a better direction.
It's all about show really. If you're a young hoon, that wants all the girls then nitro is for you. Just the word Nitro sounds sexy to women. Ordinary petrol is what you want!
Granted some people use NOS just to show off, but others who are racers (real racers) do not care about the girls or getting noticed, they actually want to win.
Of course I do know the type of guys that just want to show off. They usually just buy an empty NOS bottle and put it in the car just to say they have NOS.
FORD_MAD you are entitled to your opinion, but it sounds like you are angry at all racers.
As for the ordinary petrol comment, again if you only drive from home to work and back then you are absolutely correct. Higher octane fuel in a non-performance car is a waste of money. The only thing you will get with high octane fuel in a non-performance car is a hot engine.
If you are serious about racing you need high octane racing fuel.
Going back to the topic at hand, NOS is expensive no matter where you go. Trying to buy it online or from a dealer down the street is a difference of pennies at best.
Trust me when I say, the word “Nitro” does nothing for my libido or attraction to the male gender. I like fun cars, I like my boyfriend enjoying his fun cars, but if NOS isn't practical, why have it?
I have yet to have a “babe” of any kind think that Nitrous is sexy… unless of course they are a gear head and come for a ride in my car to see what a 200 shot feels like… LOL! Nitrous is a cheap means of horsepower and when done properly is as good if not better than many other power adder options. Typically a complete nitrous system with all the bells and whistles can be had for less than $2500 installed & tuned. What do I mean by “all the bells and whistles” well… Base Nitrous kit, Purge, Bottle warmer, remote bottle opener, electric nitrous pressure gauge, and tuning. Can't be the instant torque nitrous gives for a weekend racer or street warrior!
