My favorite part of the movie was when the eclipse exploded due to the NAWZ

Nitrous oxide may not be flammable but I've seen plenty of backfires with wet kits

Yeah. My old mustang blew flames out between the hood and federwell during a backfire. It also blew my airbox into about 100 pieces and wrapped the throttle body plate around the shaft it mounted on. It was awesome!

My favorite experience with this was onetime at a car wash had the good ole fashion Jiffy Lube oil Changer walk over to the bay I was washing my car in and lookin the car over tells me "only thing I see wrong with your car is it's an auto" I responded, I'm sure you are lightening quick at shifting but listen when my car changes gears and imagine pushing in the clutch and manually changing gears. Mine at the time had a th400 with a B&M Ratchet shifter so I still get to have fun just with a little more speed and accuracy

Had a guy in an lt1 impala ss tell me my car was slow (Bolt on's, MS4, 416rwhp) and that because he had an lt4 conversion in his impala and had chips that his car would "eat" mine and give me whiplash.
