Worst product evAr... NAWZ!

I find it funny and disturbing that people are actually able to bilk dumb ricers for so long, and for so much money. It’s really amazing if you think about it. Take this nifty "nitrous" kit for example



Yes, those are whippits. Yes, they are selling that "kit" for 100 bucks.

But it gets better...

"Finally, a nitrous oxide system for your car that is actually safe and affordable! Conventional nitrous oxide systems damage the engine by spraying dangerously large amounts of nitrous oxide mixed with sulfur dioxide to boost horsepower. Unfortunately, this overworks the engine to dangerous levels, and WILL shorten the life of your engine. On top of that, you have to find a place to put the obnoxious 100 lb bottle to weigh your car down. And getting one of these bottled refilled is very expensive, and requires you to unhook the entire system and put it back in after refilling"

http://www.nitrousmini.com/

Check out the site, but also be sure to check out the "demo video". Thats gotta be the best part of the whole site!

Man what some people will think up to make a quick buck off of the retards in the population.

"Dangerously large amounts of NO2 sprayed to damage engine"

I thought it was N2O.

"90% of system comprised of useless electronics"

The electronics on some make it so that it doesn't harm the engine.

"Highly flammable and dangerous"

N2O is not flammable. It's the pressure of the bottle that causes it to explode.

What if you run out of those little cartriges??

Yeah .... those whip cream chargers (N2O) give your head a rush...
not your car. I can see how when you inhale them at a park that your
foot cool hold down the clutch and rev the engine. Sad thing is,
dumb@$$es are actually buying these things on ebay!

Kind of like the idea althought it is cheep. Cartridga idea could be used in racing like in a video game, somthing like NASCAR where all the cars are even. Everybody starts out with the same amount of carts. whomever uses them wisely wins. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Why would spraying cause the engine to rev up? What a crock! Besides, I wonder what the shot size is? Like, a 5hp shot for 10 seconds?

I actually kind of hope this is a thinly veiled attempt to sell whippits legally.

Maybe they're just calling it a "nitrous kit", like head shop owners have to refer to bongs as "water pipes".
