Increased performance of 560SL w/ no mods.

I know that my car is faster and smoother and happier than it ever was before. I switched from air to AMSOIL Nitrogen in the tires and WOW what a difference. I can now leap small cars in a single bound; and with the 100 octane avgas that I'm burning am making at least 100 more horsepower with no engine mods - I can feel it! Yeah baby!

Either you're a complete idiot, or I have yet to reach the level of genius which you have miraculously attained.

WHAT?!

Love it.

You need on of those "filter on a stick" thingies, too, and a big fart pipe for the exhaust outlet.

For some reason the add at the bottom of the page, seems to fit.

(In case it's gone: Supercharger - any car - $69.95)

You should try putting Helium or even Hydrogen (if your not afraid of flamability) in the tires. This will make the car lighter and give it the ability to fly.

Can you get high by sniffing nitrogen?
