well thats $300 of gas wasted

[holtzer1]

so many experts, so little time.

Good rich color.  not just the orange ball you normally see.

correct gizmodo, quasimodo, every car in the world is defective, i can prove it in detail for legal corrections. dangerous tires, bad roads, old heavy complicated motors, and fake use restrictions cause death. people also waste billions of dollars per day on toys (car stereos, decorations, chemicals). also: addition of weapons to a vehicle, such as "flame throwers", guns, bombs, etc., is illegal. contract services must register with the federal government to make or modify a vehicle for combat.

@jamesmcashan wouldn't that be nearly every car on the road today? yes, yes it would be, think next time you try to bash on something that you can't afford

[jamesmcashan]

most combustion is "rapid oxidation". nitrous oxide (NO2) has oxygen in it, that is why it burns, pure oxygen added to fuels like rocket fuel burns more, but it is extremely explosive.

there has already been an electric car, in 2000, that accelerated to more than 200 miles per hour (but quiet cars are deadly, a problem).

attention US DOT (there is no legal local DOT): anything that travels at more than 100 miles per hour should be isolated, or in the air.

@kcole939 never! lol

[kcole939]

@rambopuncheshobos FAIL. At just below 600 degrees fahrenheit, nitrous oxide splits into oxygen and nitrogen, allowing the engine to burn MORE fuel. Not making the charge denser. Why the hell do you think nitrous setups include nitrous jets, AND fuel jets? To supply the extra fuel that can be burnt when injecting the nitrous!

Go use your own damn advice and learn how nitrous actually works! 'colder denser charge' LOL! Nitrous actually needs HEAT to split into oxygen. What a tool.

[rambopuncheshobos]

@kcole939 are you one of those geniuses that resort to wikipedia because nirous oxide is a non flammable substance it allows a colder denser charge or air enter the engine. this allows more oxygen in because the oxygen molecule are closer together. more oxygen equal more complete burn of fuel. know your facts before telling people they are wrong. you will just look like a tool

@slingblade1991

"It is a very common misconception that c02 is flammable."

That's CO^2, and I'm pretty sure no-one thinks it can burn, you seem to be confusing the before and after in the scenario, as CO^2 is created after the reaction between the fuel and oxidizer.
