Default is nitrous cheating?

when it comes to racing (mostly street racing) do you consider nitrous cheating? theres some civic kids with big turbos that think nitrous is cheating, but its all the same, forced induction. Its not like nitrous is free. What do you guys think?

Tossing a spike strip in front of an opponents car is cheating. Making your car go faster is not cheating.....period.

Only if you lead them to believe you don't have it. I can't stand people who lie about their mods. There's no point to it. Either race while telling mods, or race without telling each other your mods. But don't be a scumbag and lie. That's when it's cheating, as is a turbo, blower, heads, cam, etc.

I dont think it is, and yes the little insecure rice community thinks that n02 is cheating when half of them are running it. And some na sbc cars think that to for some reason.

I agree that cheating is when you don't reveal you have nitrous and win because of it or with someother mod. Not that it matters anyway..........race what you got and win or lose. Who the **** cares what he thinks anyway.

There is no cheating in street racing. Whatever you gotta do to make a buck is the name of the game. This isn't NHRA, there are no rules. Unless of course rules were made before said contest. And even then cheating is OK, unless you get caught and there are more of them than you

If your on the track, and the race specifies no nitrous, then yes. If your on the street, hell no. The streets are tough for a reason, anything goes. Run what'cha brung.

Tell them to put up or shut up. Nitrous is what it is. I didn't hear any ricers watching Fast and the Furious and saying.. OMG They're cheating!

just ask to show in the "street racing rulebook" where nitrous is considered cheating.

hell, just ask to see the street racing rulebook, because i have yet to see one.

anything is game i guess, just whatch what you do because some people dont take kindly to getting hustled, if you say you dont have spray then they find out you do, better pray they let it go, you have more people, they dont have a gun or any other large objects to beat your *** with, i.e. shovel (almost seen it done before). or all of the above
