This was posted a while back and the guy got flamed for it. I kept my mouth shut then because I thought it was pretty darn informative. Way to recycle Grey!

Incorrect Term: Nitro
Correct Term: Nitrous or Nitrous Oxide

Since The Fast and the Furious hit theaters, we noticed a marked decrease in the population that refers to nitrous oxide as "nitro". There is a fine linguistic line separating "nitro" from "nitrous", and as with any other easily confused or misheard term, the differences between the two are drastic. Nitro is short for nitromethane, an extremely reactive (explosive) automotive fuel. Nitrous, or nitrous oxide, is an inert gas that contains more oxygen than atmospheric air.

I actually learned the Nitro one from the History Channel not too long ago. I'm looking forward to the "How air-intakes really work" thing, as I don't know too much about car engines as of yet.

CivicSouldjaEX will become famous soon enough

So, why DID Bryan O'Conner spin out when driving in a straight line? And I dunno but what was that clicking noise everytime he shifted? ::Clink::

See if you can get that link on the intakes when it comes out.
