This is what I do with my Mickey Thompsons but I sure don't use liquid nitrogen. Nitrogen as a gas suppossively doesn't drop in pressure

Its molecules are larger than regular air, so it's less prone to leak down out of tires. It does weigh more than air, but I doubt it's enough to worry about since air is soooo heavy

True but I would think nitrogen gas would be cheaper to use anyways

A buddy of mine put nitrogen in the tires on his Z06 and said they made the handling alot softer, or "squishy" as he said. He had regular old air put back in.

I wonder if nitrogen would be a good choice for drag cars.

nitrogen would be a bad idea since it does weigh more than air. so when at a stop all that air is at the bottom of the tire, this would more than likely reduce performance than improve it.

How much more would it weigh? Like a 1/4 ounce that would be the equivilent of shaving your nuts before you got in the car
