"NOS" is a brand name, not the actual N2O
Seriously... just close this thread and lose any other threads which even have to word "NOS", "Nitrous Oxide" or anything else linked to NOS!!
NOS in LFS, I thought it was onlu NFS:U feature 
Only when you get more nitrous by passing close to moving objects or sliding =)
You do in the second one. In the first one, when it's gone, it's gone
.I admit that I did buy NFS:U, but only because it was for a tenner in the bargain bin.
Ok, i know i'm the "demo nub" round here, but i'll post my 2c worth anyway.
The guy asked if there is a NOS mod. Instantly he is flamed by those who think NOS is uncool and shouldn't be a part of a "racing simulator".
Drag Racing is a sport. It is also a form of racing. Nitrous is used in drag racing... So if you think NOS isn't a part of racing, then you need to put down your Fast and Furious DVD's and go down to a street meet one night.
Lastly, if he wants a NOS mod, good for him! Him wanting to use a NOS mod doesn't affect any of you (unless it can be used as a cheat online) so why does it concern the haters so much? If you're interested in NOS and would agree with the author of the thread that it would be fun to use, then great, speak up, make a request!.... but if you've opened your secondaries just to bag something you don't like, and bag the person who likes things you don't like, then i think it just makes you look like a stubborn little kid.
I would be a hypocrite if i didn't mention that i am indeed interested in playing around with a NOS mod. I'm sure it would be something that i would get over quickly though, as i enjoy playing with LFSTweak

I may disagree with the NOS mod and i may even flame the people who ask for it but this is a good view on it and being a fan of The Fast And The Furious/2 Fast 2 Furious, i probably may also use the mod on single plaayer mode too, but i think it would definitely need to be banned/barred on Multiplayer!!
Street racing isn't motorsport, it's a silly, often illegal and dangerous activity on public, open roads (often at night), by spotty teenagers with silly looking cars. They use Nitrous Oxide systems.
Real drag racers don't tend to bother. They are resticted by regualtions to use either pump fuel or methanol (or many other fuels, but the point is that they use the same, and Nitrous is VERY VERY rare).
The ONLY reason Nitrous is popular is because ricers use it, and it's in the crappy Fast and Furious/Need for Speed type multimedia where everything is simplified or unrealistic.

I wonder how many people would think the movie was "cool" if the pseudocorrect-at-best engine part mumbojumbo jargon they fill it with was replaced with intelligent conversation about engines... Probably not many. Makes it impossible to carry on a real conversation with someone polluted and / or "instructed" by these movies and the culture thereof. Annoyingly so to be honest. Alas - factual knowledge and education about engines seems passe nowdays...
@Shinanigans - Street racing is NOT a sport. Furthermore, NO circuit racing series would allow N2O, and thus, it does NOT belong in LFS.
If you can show me a LEGAL drag racing SERIES that uses N2O (not just nitrous as a fuel, but actual Nitrous Oxide injection for boost) then by all means, LFS should get N2O, but ONLY in a car similar to the one(s) raced in that drag racing league, and only available on the drag strips.

Jeez now wouldn't that be a box office hit? LOL!
Thats why we should make it so if you use a 300 Shot of "NAWWWWWWWWZZZ" then you will "blow da welds off yo intake manifold".
It's just unfortunate that it's "cool" to be stooopid and talk out of the anus.
OMG, the avatars are back. I only noticed when presented with Jeff's face. Gulp.
Oh no, there's mine!!!
To make this post vaguely on topic, I'd like to agree with Jeff that ignorance really does seem to be cool. I'm regularly harrassed by an idiot on MSN (who shall remain nameless, but he's American, and thinks he knows about cars and engineering). He's so naive that it's not worth blocking him, I get great pleasure from telling him he's an idiot whenever he starts to type. And two days lates he's all 'hey bud, how r u lol' (with that annoying animated lol that morons find amusing). Maybe it's a male thing - cars are generally a masculine topic, and no male wants to admit he's not in the know about cars.

Tristan... in your avatar you have by far the absolute coolest vehicle ever created. THAT is what LFS S3 needs.
What is it, do you know?
I would guess that you might see that riding around the courses in the infield of Fern Bay Country Club
.LFS isnt a game
not quite, GT4 is "car porn" lots of cars, awfully arcade physics
:hihi:
GT4 is a driving simulator is it?
Just for the record.... it's nothing of the sort, not trying to burst anyone's bubble, but it just isn't. At all. In any way. Prepare yourself for a speech using the vernacular "poo" comming up.
edit, bah beaten...

no need for nos.. the game is fine as it is, arcade games can have nos, but they arnt as good as racing sims..
GT4 is a great game, not a simulator. And it having NOS doesn't make NOS on a racing circuit realistic. I suggest you take note to what I said in the Live For Speed Hot Pursuit thread if you want to be taken seriously.
i love hearing people say how realistic GT4 is and how closely the times compare. Then in the next sentance they claim to have broken the 5 min barrier in a 787B round the 'ring
What? You're telling me that's not possible?
illepall LOL
Nos
