They used nitrous!??

 

it doesnt say in their write up. they only make 285 hp without it though.

 

I'm going to put nitrous on my lawn mower and tell everybody it has 500hp.

 

good for you

 

ya they were. its mentioned on their website under the specs.

 

I have never heard of a track car using nitrous. I wonder how many laps it takes for the bottle to run out?

 

remember it's time attack sessions, so they can go back to the docks and swap bottles if needed most of the cars in these TA will not last endurance races or be safe for that type of event.

 

btw.. some pix of the time attack

Good point. I don't know why I didn't remember that.

 

You might be surprised how many road racing cars have used nitrous, albeit hidden and illegally. Can you say "push to pass"?!

 

thats what happens when you got bank roll from a factory team

 

all of those cars are pretty high budget cars. i wouldnt say that the cobalt has much more than any of the other cars as far as money wise

 

The pro drivers don't hurt either.
