Burning up that far before the line, I doubt it was nitrous related.

NOSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!

nitrous doesnt burn though. it supplies lots of oxygen to help the fuel burn better.

While that may be true it can form an explosive mixture with air.

Thats what happens when you dont shut off an electric fuel pump with a fire. It took a good minute for anyone to realize it was still on, then they were able to put the fire out.

Some people dont know how to use nitrous. Spray it a million times prior to launch, then hit the throttle, goes boom.

Maybe the guy that filled his bottle didn't like him... and filled the bottle with something else. :shock:

exactly, i was thinking of this video, then magically, it was on the related list. apparently charlie's gotten some fame, as this video has 12,000 views.

anyhow, wanna know a big problem with keyless starts? if your car catches on fire, and you run away with the key in your pocket, the firemen can't open the hood to put it out. bye bye brand new vette.

EDIT, this video doesn't show any more. the fire started back up, and the car pretty much burned to the ground.

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah that is a drawback. thats why you need to keep it in the cup holder and pull the lid closed. well a little late for that. i was in a c6 sunday and thats what the guy did. i second guessed how to get out too haha freakin buttons

That vette was in Hackettstown near STS tire for a while wasn't it? I had a pic of it on my old phone

[79CamaroDiva]

coulda been, he's from the area. i think i still wanna talk to him about his wheels. his insurance didn't cover anything, so now he's making payments on a totaled car

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Thought so....Wow that sucks.

yikes.

I wonder if the long block is salvageable :)

[sweetbmxrider]

:shock: that second vid was nasty!!!!

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

My friend was there...he said the concussion from the explosion was crazy

[79CamaroDiva]

I was standing in front of the concession stand it it was nasty to say the least. I've seen a lot of nitrous backfires, but he must have squeezed the whole bottle before hitting the throttle.
