Oh, there's plenty of advantages. But advantages to me might be disadvantages to someone else.
For one, there isn't a constant strain on the motor. The downside is that there isn't extreme power unless you push a button. To me, that's not very fun (i like all-motor.... Turbo second, close second!!!
).
2nd, is you can hook up alot better on street tires. Which is mostly for street racing. all you have to do is hit the nitrous when you get to second. If you need it earlier than that somethings wrong. Or you're racing a VIPER...
Turbo is so very hard to hook up with on street tires (my last car was a turbocharged 93 prelude si). Of course on the track it's easier to get off the line with slicks on a turbocharged car than with an all-motor car or nitrous. Unless of course you hit it out of the whole. Not a very good method!
3rd, if you've got a girl, it kinda sux for her to see her head cock back every gear! Trust me, you get some nasty looks!!! hahaha...
4th and lastly (as of now, don't have a whole lot of time to get into it)... It's cheaper and less maintenance!
Overall, nitrous is better for the street than turbo. Just like anything, to much of something can kill a motor. So whatever you get don't go crazy!!!
These are my opinions based on experience and what i've seen... I've never gone nitrous so i couldn't tell you just how fun or safe it is. The only advice i have to say is go wet kit!!! Fuel and N2o at the same time is a good thing.
But don't you think it'd be funner to hit 12's all-motor? That's props!!! I should be there by the beginning of summer if all things go according to plan. Of course, they never do, and i probably just jinxed myself!!! Be safe...
