Nitromethane cobalt 2.2l RENTAL!!!
Haha make a long story short me and some buddies rented a cobalt ls for the weekend and were thrashing on it ..... "please dont get mad lol we got the insurance" 1 beer after another concluded the dumb decison to put nitromethane AKA RC car fuel in the rental
let me just say that for the full 10 minutes our 2 gallons of RC fuel lasted that rental would have walked my modded 2.4 with 4 people in it lol
Anyway Cheers Todays My BDAY!!!!

I wonder what that **** could do to a normal engine?
Did you drain the tank first, or add it to the existing fuel?
What percentage nitromethane mixture did you use?

haha.
It's like a hot prostitute. You wanna hit it, but you're afraid of the consequences.
The only downside i can find about this ****, is that it burns hotter than normal gasoline, which could potentially cause problems.
I'm tempted to try some too

Problem 1 = Melted Cat
Problem 2 = Torch O2 Sensors
Problem 3 = HOT LONG Burn = Melt engine parts.

But that doesn't mean to go out and pour nitromethane in your car and see how it runs, if you do your engine will surely blow up. Nitromethane is very expensive and dangerous to handle. The interesting alternative to gasoline is Methanol. Methanol will make more power, typically around 20% more power than a similar engine running gasoline. Some things to consider in running methanol is your fuel system will have to be completely changed / upgraded. Based on the table above the fuel system will have to flow approximately 2.5 times as much as the gasoline engine.
