Emissions disaster? Could an OEM system become part of the original spec of a supercar? Or is it simply too hard on the engine (or too difficult to arrange supplier relationships for the NOS itself)?
Does anyone have nitrous on their GT40??

COST! and compliance regulations I suspect for the fitment thereof.
Nitrous is cool though, cheapest HP per buck available and works safely on any engine combination when used in 'moderation'.
Of course, 99% of those who have not experienced it will call it 'cheating'.
