    Well the car in the screenshot looks like a blown Dodge Charger R/T Dragster which fits alright with the "Nitro" title, but unless the entire game is about drag racing then maybe a different title would be appropriate. "Nitro" in the racing world is short for Nitromethane which is the fuel that the kings of the drag strip burn to achieve those 4.5-second/325 MPH runs, (Top Fuel & Funny Car classes). It should not be confused with Nitrous Oxide which is what NOS and Venom systems inject into the engine. Nitrous is a stable gas that introduces extra oxygen allowing more fuel to be burned, thus increasing horsepower.

    We don't want the racing community laughing at us "poor dumb gamers" who don't know one from the other ;)

    I'm a huge fan of Need For Speed and and other arcade racers and racing sims and look forward anxiously to the new NFS releases. Keep up the great work!
