If by nice you mean a wrongful death lawsuit waiting to happen, then I agree. It's way cool...but they just do that stuff to show off what they can do. Like when Ford did the FR500 Mustang and Chevy did the ZL1 Camaro a few years back. But it'd be too damn dangerous to put that on the street. Back in the '80s GM toyed with the idea of making a special edition Monte Carlo SS that had nitrous from the factory.:no: Go figure. Damn nice car though. Gimme the new Bugatti quad turbo any day though.

Damn dood...what is it with people an GNs? Sure, they're cool and they're pretty fast for a stock car...but they aren't gold. Why not lust after a GNX? By far a better car. I had a friend with a 280hp SVO Mustang (just bumped the boost up) that spanked a GN at the track and on a road course. But yeah...nitrous on a factory car? You'd have to keep refilling it. I've seen that kid drive...he's got a heavy foot...he'll blow himself to pieces.
