View Full Version : Is nitrous cheating?

I got into a argument with somebody cause I said my marauder was faster then a new 5.0.
They said "Well without cheating?"
I said "cheating?"
Them "Yea nitrous is cheating"
Me "how is nitrous cheating?"
Them"if they put nitrous on they would be faster"
I just walked away. I say it's only cheating if I don't tell them I have it. And it's a power adder just like a turbo, (that I'm doing later this year) or a supercharger.
And I do agree a new 5.0 is faster then my car without nitrous. But with my nitrous I get to the end of the 1/4 first.
What do you think is it cheating or not?

It's not cheating, it's a legal race power adder (on the track).

Disclosed before race, that's straight up. Just sour grapes when they lose

Brandon,
IF, I had a supercharger under my hood and raced a 5.0,..
I'm not cheating, nor would you be. Especially since you were up front about it.
Even if they didn't ask, and you didn't tell, it isn't cheating either. IMO.
Part of racing.
Maybe one day...
;)

Not cheating. Just like a fight on the street can't punch Mayweather and after he beats you to sleep you say he cheated. Your car is a sleeper. Nice
Of course losers always think the winner cheated especially when they think they are suppose to win. SPRAY ON ...if I wasn't at 150+ on the clock if be ordering a kit tomorrow to "cheat" as they say it

Cheating is breaking a rule for an advantage or to deceive for an advantage.
HE would only accuse you of cheating if he lost.
Hey LOWBUCK it's not cheating!
Tell them 1 simple thing!
RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG!!! :burn:

This. Unless you're in stock car racing, do whatever you want - just like everybody else does.
Those same guys that want to rag on your nitrous are all using improved 'this' and upgraded 'that' all over their cars, and the only reason they're not using nitrous is that they haven't got the coin, or maybe the nerve.
I didn't know there were any rules.
There is 1 rule!
Run your car not your mouth!

Not cheating. Whatever it takes to win unless its an actual competition where theres rules against it.
But then some may say its only cheating if you get caught

Hey ya know these new 5.0's have some balls to them, even with a shot I don't think the Marauder can take the win for granted, I think I'd put my money on the new 5.0!

:nos: Bam ! Thats what i always say. I hope you brough enough
If the opposing party does not ask "what you got", you are not obligated to tell. Take his money and run.
My co-worker (back in the day, 1980-83) had a '67 Mercury Cougar with a warmed over 351 Cleveland and modified C-6 tranny and would take bets on whose car was fastest at the "What-a-Burger" drive-in races on Friday nights. You could not look under the hood and he wouldn't disclose his mods. It would cost you $100.00 - $500.00 to find out.
He didn't lose.
His engine bay looked like DOOM's car. Except for slightly larger rear tires his car appeared stock. While he didn't tell you what he "had", it left no doubt the car wasn't stock but a real sleeper. No one said "that's cheating". The fact that he wagered answered the question.

This guy sounds like he should be driving an import Lowbuck.... Arguments like these are the ones you always here from them...
Formula for a good time racing:
1. Define the rules (if any)
2. Bend rules without breaking if ya can
3. Like Landy says hope ya brought enough (and have the skill to use what ya brung :))
4. Lastly as per DOOM... Run yer car.... Not yer mouth.... Before & after.....:burnout::lol:

Yea that's what my friends brother did. Ran his mouth about his new 5.0. So I made him shut it 3 times. :banana2: (At the drag strip of course).

NO! It's not cheating!
Why you ask?
1. A supercharger or turbo adds more oxygen than than an NA engine would normally supply allowing more fuel to be added for more powa.
2. N2O adds more oxygen so you can add more fuel for more powa.
3. That's it, no 3. It's over, go home now folks.
