Default What is up with juice???

In my area I love to cruise/ race many cars. I will race just about anything from a four banger to a vette. I am finding the limits of my car and have surprised myself more than a few times. The car I have came half modded and had a bottle of giggle gas in the trunk. It is not hooked up at the moment but it is real funny that I have noticed something. NOBODY wants to race me as soon as they know I have a bottle. That bottle just sitting in the trunk has won so many races for me that it amazes me.
JD- I know you told me way back to hook it up and tell NOBODY and what you said is true. One person knows about the bottle and now everyone in this area knows about it. Bad move on my part.

My question is, "is juice this intimidating in your areas everyone???" It doesn't seem to matter what mods are done to the other car, they won't race unless "I dont spray on them" I guess they watched the F and the F too many times because they take that to heart. If I spray on them that will demolish any other car at all. What is up w/ that??? Juice isn't the silver bullet to win races but it really has the intimidation factor in my area.

Uhhh 100s of hp in a bottle? Id say thats pretty intimadating. I can see why people dont want you to spray, unless they have equal mods or a way faster car your gonna whoop em.

A big enough shot of nitrous can take a stock LS1 f-body from 13.3 to 11.8. That is a big difference. I would race the 13.3 car, if it ran 11.8 it would be embarrasing for me.

I think what he is trying to say is he would get crushed.

You are correct sir. My best is 13.3, if I ran a 11.8 car it wouldn't even be sporting. Unhook the bottle and I'd be up for it.

Ah, my bad. I'm just baffled that this guy has all these mods and he's worried about a procharged Cobra?

Come down by me, I'll run you head up spray for spray or motor for motor. I see you are not that far.

The last time I street raced my car, the guy made me actually disconnect the nitrous feed line from the bottle....I told him, if I kill you, you know I sprayed, if I only outrun you, then I didn't.

No one around here who streetraces runs nitrous....they all want to run motor to motor. Which makes it nice to have nitrous. Supercharged/turbo guys can't run all motor....there's a good amount of pride knowing you beat someone on motor, but still have that extra hp if you need it.

Besides, ppl think it's more impressive to make tons of hp on motor vs using some kind of power adder.
