Ok let me get this straight drag radials, wheelie bars, slicks, gutted (bello) porsches are acceptable but Nitrous is not? He broke the 9s and to me that is impressive. I don't race or have ever raced but I find some of the arguments as being ***** envy and nothing more.

If we would be able to run NOS on the turbos I think we would just to run a 1/4 time... that still does not justify the times achieved doing so... At least in my book. Im only referring to street driven cars and not 1/4 mile specific . If I had a 1/4 car I would spray without a doubt.
I have nothing against NA cars turned turbo and or SC. But If have to race for a whole alot cash against a car thats spraying a 300 shot... hhhmmm Ill think twice about it. I might as well then just take out my evo 8 and put on a GT42 R turbo and spray. Then lets see what happens...

If you do it chemically or physically it's the same damn thing.
I'd gladly run a nitrous car vs a turbo car, especially out on the highway. N2O is great for a hard hit and it makes a ton of torque in the middle of the rpm range, but it can be very hard to control.
If you're afraid to run the car just because it has nitrous, you're not very confident in your turbo setup. Just because it's cheaper doesn't make it cheating.
If all else fails, just ask the nitrous guy to race 3 times.

You seriously are going to compare installing a supercharger or turbos to The Bottle? Uhmm, you run a SC or Turbo all day long. You press a button with spray and you get instant power shot for a few seconds. Yep, they are nearly identical
Yeah, I added the TT system to my 996tt just yesterday
Installing headers, cams, gears, exhaust......hell, even an ECU flash is cool with me. ****, anybody can hook a bottle up to a car with 150 less HP and for a few seconds have a faster car. Oh boy, thats really cool and proves what?.....it proves that you can effectively press a button and get a boost of power. A monkey could do that.
I'm not saying what is right or wrong. I'm saying I'm not impressed by anybody's time that is running spray and its NOT the same as adding a turbo charger or SC.

maybe you should consult your 16yr old on what dihydrogen monoxide is.
sarcasm pwned you.

Oh yea, and I'm love the fast and the furious movie series, I mean I won two pro street championships, but those were the basis for me building my multiple race cars. Honestly, you are one of the most arrogant and ignorant people I have ever encountered. Have a nice day.
I said anybody could hook a bottle to their car (not doing it themself). I said what skill does it take to PUSH the button to activate it. A MONKEY could do that. Reading comprehension son. I suggest you give it a try.
Once again running nitrous on a modern day car screams ricer, especially on one like a Corvette or Porsche. So you going to put spray on the GT3 you have on order? That would be the ultimate denigration to a fabulous car. But hey, if thats your desire, spray away!!!
