If your talking about street racing........it's called run what you brung. There are no rules. Nitrous is just another power adder.

I don't know if I would call it cheating. Maybe inflating your numbers. Like, your car only pulls those numbers on juice. So, 99% of the time you drive it, unless its a race only car, it isn't as fast.

If you do that, i think your front end will come off of the ground and your car will proceed to fly away

some of the fastest cars out there that are true street cars are juice cars..... its no different then any other power adder.... for you to run a "real" shot of juice you need to make sure the compression is just as low as a turbo or blower car.... you also need the same goodies such as a forged piston to withhold the power.... nitrous is the cheapest and easiest way to go..... its looked upon as cheating maybe if you say your car is n/a no power adder and you run with the juice connected and spraying.... buttttttttt you can tell if someone is doing that by the smell and looking at the exhaust during a run......

i dont think its cheating, but if your running a car both of you specify no nitrous then one person hits the bottle anyway then thats cheating. So if there arent any stipulations then, no, i dont think its cheating.

thats how they race thought, they negotiate for lengths so theres a fair chance, so the guy has a race. they do it on the street, its all part of the game if you want to race, you negotiate enough to get the job done and to have a race, if u are getting it done, they sand bag so they can get another race, so they can potentionally get some $$$

i'll agree, it is pretty dumb. It's not about who's car is faster it's all about negotiations.
