It does have an additive in it so people don't use it to get f*cked up... When it is being sprayed the only way it would smell is if the car is running too rich or lean, which has nothing at all to do with the nitrous, it would be a fuel issue.

Damn. Seeing all these threads with bikes running high hp cars makes me want to ditch anything having to do with modding my car and straight up buy a bike.

Not trying to start an argument.. But now do you see why everyone says that it is "BS" that you beat a bike?
You may very well have been in front of the bike.. Whether he was racing or no is irrelevant. Fact is, you beat the rider, which happens a LOT. You have a solid 13 second car on motor and high 12s on spray. Not anything near enough to pull any 600 bike in good running condition rode average or above average. It would be absolutely embarrassing. As in people wouldn't be able to tell you were racing.

that statement is comparing a 600 to a 1000... 600's are cute starter bikes though

Years ago when I first started getting into cars we took my buddies full bolt on camaro with tires and wanted to race a bone stock 600RR w/ a 215 lb rider....
Nothing around town at the time (our age) could keep up with us.. We figured we had a shot..
He gave us the hit from a 20 roll.. My god, it was like my friend threw it in reverse and kicked it. It literally looked like we hit a brick wall and the bike was sling shot away from us.
We let off at about 45 because it was just stupid, there was absolutely no point in racing.. My buddy on the bike said he let off around 60.. He had a GOOD 13-15 car lengths on us and said he started in 2nd gear instead of 1st to be nice.
Yes, he was a good rider.. We raced our bikes together all the time.. Race a good rider and see what happens.

Damn, never thought I'd see the day! 
Yes, like I have said.. Congrats, but it doesn't mean much to people that know whats going on. It will most definitely impress people that know little or nothing about cars/bikes/racing.
You won, it is all that matters.. I was just trying to show you that there is a HUGE difference in beating a bike and a rider. 95% of the time a car is beating the rider which is STILL A WIN... BUT! you shouldn't go around saying "my car is faster than an 06 600RR, etc etc etc..
Cute starter bikes... Yea, 10s@125+mph off the showroom floor is "cute".
It is VERY obvious that you are VERY VERY ignorant when it comes to bikes. Not necessarily a bad thing, but when you call a 600 a "cute started bike", it just makes you sound stupid.
So i beat the rider then... i can live with that because the matter of the fact is my car was in front and he didnt have a chance to beat me to the one lane merge like he desperately wanted... I never said my car was faster than any bike... ive ridden on a 600 CBR and Yr6... they are nothing special, I declined riding a YR1000 because I didnt wanna kill myself and there is no way id beat a 1000
that statement is comparing a 600 to a 1000... 600's are cute starter bikes though

its true though most people buy a cbr600 or R6 for their first bike unless they go even lower but they will be bored with it... then when theyre more experienced they go up from there

A 600 is more bike than 99% of street rides can handle.

This was like a week ago...
I pulled up to a red light and right next to me a red camaro SS with red wheels pulls up... I was like ok whatever so the light turns green and we didnt go right away until we were half way in the intersection. We both punched it and we were fender to fender and all of a sudden he pulled like I was in reverse lol my friends girlfriend who was in the car with me asked me what that smell was... I said to her "NOS" so he sprayed on me and beat me... that thing would have beaten me anyway after we hit like 75+ but either way it was a kill... good kill at that because it was my first loss and im glad it was to my younger brother lol
im not sure who it was or if he is on this site but just wanted to give you a thumbs up.

he could have been stalled. with my converter, it sounds like i'm getting on the throttle since it takes a little more to get it moving from a stop. then from a slow roll like 10mph as you say, if i nail the throttle, you'd think i was on the bottle.
