Yes, when N20 reaches 572* (in the compression stroke) it breaks down and releases oxygen..more oxygen means more fuel which means more powa!

Just got back from watching it. They should have worked on the sound track more. The GN changed back and forth from V8 to V6 sound. One scene the axle is obviously bent, then suddenly straight.

There was ALOT of very obvious mistakes all through the movie. I would have expected it from a movie from the 70's but not a movie thats current. Damaged stuff suddenly getting fixed, and all sorts of things of that type.

I have never read about N2O exploding like that. I have read about the bottles exploding and destroying cars, but not exploding because of a leak.

not sure, but then I think, "a girl that likes to get all dolled up, but is comfortable with getting grease under her finger nails"

I saw it friday..I got what I expected and that was to enjoy watching mia (jordana brewster) shes such a babe! I liked when vin diesel went ape sheezy on paul walker and punched him like 6 times and all paul had was a drop of blood under his nose...really? My buddies and I laughed too when they are eating dinner and vin takes a swig of beer and the bottle starts to foam over when he sets it down! It wasn't too bad but +1 on the changing engine sounds...wtf was the sound guy doing?

I thought the editor's would of paid more attention to detail and not shown that scene because of the obvious lack of mechanicals...but then I'm sure they really weren't too worried about a bunch of gear heads laughing at the movie.

I got told to shut up by some people cuz of some of the glaring mistakes in that movie mad me laugh...including but not limited to the aforementioned paul walker getting his *** kicked by vin diesel. There really were too many too list but it was interesting nevertheless.

I liked the movie and glad to see American Muscle supported. I still want to see Grand Torino.

Well, guess they shoulda paid more attention to the deails, but the reason the GNX goes from V8 to V6 sound is because some of the ones used had V8s, others had V6s; the reason the axle was bent where he's driving in "reverse" is because they took the body off and turned it around; those are the front wheels "bending".

Overall I thought it was a good movie, but us car people will recognize the details like that, but they did most of the stunts for real (the wheelstands, put weights in the back). I liked that they used more muscle cars than ricers this time.

This movie was supposed to take place between the second and third movie. If you notice Han says he is going to check out tokyo, which is where he died in the 3rd movie.
