The guy(officer) didn't really know anything so he told them to put in two tanks, remember he's a cop and simply wanted to go fast, w/o realizing the consequences, in fact the shop owner warned him, bu tof course the authorities nailed him for black market goods.
I agree that the supra should've easily dealt with the f355 and the use of nos was WAYYYYYY overplayed.
Also, those vehicles, if equiped like they're suppose to be would easily take even exotics like vipers, lambos etc and of course they are not legal, but neither are most "souped-up" cars.
Movie was good, action packed.
Supposedly, there's a secret scene at the end, after the credits, which i did not stay to see.

Sorry its just become habbit writing is as NOS. But I think N.O.S is an actual company. Around here its "he's sprayin' " or "She's got a bottle" we hardly ever call it Nitrous, NOS, nitrous oxide, etc. . . Its an easy cheap hp gain so A LOT of kids have it mainly to show off and give a small hand (65 shot and lower) but the main use I see out of it is "foggin" when they give a small shot out of a jet that is pointing out of the hood that shoots up into the air. People are like "eww" OOOOh" then that guy gets blown by a stock GS and they're like HA HA. Oh yeah I think that plate was SUPPOSED to be a floor board but why would he blow ribbits off a floor board he was only going like 160? I've never seen a bottle that big that was actually used let alone TWO!

Actually I saw a White GS430 with a NOS Tank much Bigger than that at my Lexus Dealer. This guy had everything in his car. I think the owner of this car was a dealer but not from Lexus

The size of the bottle really doesn't matter. Some cars use more nitrous, so the two bottles was feasible. I had a 200 shot on my c5 and the 10 lb bottle only last 2 good runs, so imagine how much nitrous is used with a 400 shot or even 300. A larger bottle will obviously last longer in the case of the gs430. I know my friend who has a 9 second '97 ta convertible uses a 10 lb bottle per run.
Mainly in cali they "nos" probably like have said Nitrous Oxide Systems, but here in MI, its nitrous, spraying, bottle, etc

Hmmm, around here, everyone I know calls it NOS or nitrous...hehehe, I saw one guy at a rave with a NOS sticker on a can of RedBull...anyone got a ballon? ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Yeah, I had forgotten about the "trap door"...really, what the hell was that anyways?
And what I don't understand is why they picked a R33 Skyline instead of a R34 Skyline...But that Skyline was still bad ***! THAT should have been the "hero" car...not that crappy Eclipse...
Did anyone go to the Rave that had at that parking lot in the first scene (where they talk about the "2G buy-in")? It's in Downtown LA...they were standing right where the Jungle area was...flashbacks...

I like the setup of cars they had in the movie but the Eclipse had to go although its a nice car it doesnt even come close to those other 3 cars it was racing with and that RX7 was a thing of bueaty I WANT IT
I loved where he hid the NOS bottles and the stereo system setup was kick A$$ I think the RX7 should have taken place of the supra. DIDNT YOU GUYS NOTICE THAT THEY HAD A TOYOTA SUPRA, MAZDA RX7, THEY EVEN HAD A NISSAN SKYLINE, BUT HEY NO HONDA/ACURA NSX
I found that kinda funny that they used all the japanese "super cars" but they didnt include the NSX
I wonder why that is
