Nitrous oxide is one of the most divisive issues for car enthusiasts in this day and age. As an add-on for souped-up cars, its most notable contribution is to take the top speed of the car a few notches higher, making it a popular inclusion for people who take part in drag races. However, there are many who caution against its use, saying that it makes the performance of a car dangerously unstable. <\/p>\n

The skeptics most likely have a point. When a car is designed, the idea behind its top speed is that that speed is sustainable for at least a while, and that the car can be controlled while at that speed. Adding to that top speed makes the car less stable and is not good for the engine. If you have a car merely for drag races and have somewhere safe to race, then you may choose to go for it. Otherwise, “nitro” as it is commonly dubbed is a pretty bad idea. <\/p>\n

Of course we enjoy high speed in our cars, but the distinction between sustainable high speeds and unsustainable ones has to be made. A burst of nitro will only last for a few seconds, and that may suggest that its sparing use will not have implications for your vehicle, but the most concerning fact must be that at the speeds gained by nitro, it becomes a lot harder to control your vehicle, meaning that the first time you use it can be the last time you drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
