The movie was good (for what I expected it to be, I'm not expectin any Oscar nominations), but man, the audience I certainly could have lived without.

I thought the 'exploding NOS' was mega bullshit!

I have to say it was alot better than I expected!
ACTING = SUCKS (expected)
ACTION SCENES = Totally unbelievable (anyone notice what was missing on the Subaru when it flipped over in the last scene)
STORYLINE = Not that bad
PLOT = Pretty good
I'd say it was about as good as the first one.

It was a nice adrenaline rush movie. Over the top like you can expect from Hollywood, but still fun, and it's always nice to see classic american muscle cars on the big screen.

While I love watching stuff blow up, I have no idea about the instability of NOS. Anyone know enough to elaborate of what it takes to blow up NOS and what it looks like when it blows? That looked like a gas explosion to me. It was still a bit more believeable that say those old A-Team TV shows where every explosion including hand grenades blow up like a big can of gasoline. ha ha.

I'm definetly no expert, and I am just going off or what I THINK I know, but isn't NOS really close to laughing gas they use at like the dentist(if they do still use it). Isn't it just capable of holding ALOT more gasoline in it mixture than air alone. I might be wrong, but it shouldn't have been flamable. Correct me if I am wrong.

Pulled this direct quote from Wikipedia:

"In vehicle racing, nitrous oxide ..... allows the engine to burn more fuel and air, resulting in a more powerful combustion. The gas itself is not flammable, but it delivers more oxygen than atmospheric air by breaking down at elevated temperatures"
