i don't believe the scooter... that purge did not look like nitrous the way it swirled.

I call bs too. None the less, it was kind of amusing. Nice car.

on that not, i like the purge on the firebird... i had mine set up like that except it only came out the left hood scoop. I know that was real because the way it looked and you could see his nx soloniods if you looked close.

The scooter was not believable, I can't imagine being able to go 100 MPH + on one and not kill myself. Plus like I said before, looked like smoke not nitrous coming from it. The least they could have done is purged an actual bottle for that effect.

I'd just like to know how they let the scooter keep up. Did the firebird go really slow and they sped up the video? That's my guess anyways.

Well this has been around the net for awhile.
98CobraEatr is a member of FBody.com and swears that it is the real deal. IIRC he didn't actually spray while racing the GoPed.
On that note the GoPed does in fact have a NX kit jetted for a motorcycle (most likely 20hp). This was the discussion over at the Sportbike Network.
Problem is the goped can't launch like the TA can but it'll rev like mad. So a slow start is typical, especially with no gears to shift.
BTW, there are N2O injected, and even turbo GoPeds out there.

i've watched that video a lot and i can't get over the fact that the gopeds purge does not look like nitrous
