    Yes! A friend in Australia has/had a 71 Mustang with a 351 running NOS and it was truly awesome. It could lose traction in any gear at any speed.

    I just have a preference for forced induction at low boost. It's a personal thing, not based on any objective assessment of the alternatives.

    That clip is from Eastern Creek, Sydney, and was during a street drag meet. My understanding from friends who were there is that the incident involved small amounts of oil left by a previous car. The next few cars also had similar problems (nothing quite as dramatic or expensive however).

    Arguably, more driver training/skill was required :)

    I saw a nitrous set up on a 328 in the late 80's at a FCA event at Lime Rock. Sure surprised a lot of cars on the main straight.
