In that case don't knock something you're too stuck up to try. Argument ended.
Back to the thread topic, sorry. One drawback I could see is in GT4 it was a little unrealistic how many cars could go well over 200mph with nitrous. I do hope they've remedied that, it was a little too unrealistic.

If they are there. In GT5 there was no provision for keeping out individual tuning parts, it was either no tuning at all or wide open. Without an on/off toggle this will ruin online circuit racing on open lobbies for anyone really interested in realism IMO.Indeed, but that's what race options are for.

When I was younger playing GT4, I was so confused with the nitrous. I recall saying something along the lines of 'why isn't there fire coming out of the exhaust?'. I guess I was caught up with Need for Speed and Fast and Furious. Times have really changed. I welcome nitrous in all racing simulators. Drag racing will be awesome.
I can also scream "Too soon, Junior" into the mic whenever someone loses.

Maybe PD were trying to copy Fast and Furious
It's kinda true. A turbo and some nitrous would turn your Supra into a 10 second car LOL.

I never played GT4 so it'll be interesting to finally feel how nitrous is like (NFS games don't count). I'm OK with it as long as it's portrayed realistically. In long races it probably won't make much difference since it will only last a short while. And if everybody has them it'll add a nice strategic aspect to the races. Do you use it at the start to overtake everyone or save it for the final straight to the finish? And putting it on the Formula GT will allow us to simulate KERS lol.

Yes it would be horrible if there was no option, GT6 online should be a good evolution from GT5 so I have have confidence the option will be there as this paticular part is very important (similar to tyre restrictions for example).
Haha, the same time I was saying "thank god there is no fire coming out the exhaust!"
I liked in GT4 you had the option for how much Nitrous you would use, like how much 'shot' you went for in the tuning menu. So if you wanted more power it ran out quicker, dial it down and it lasted longer. In drags I used a huge shot but it only lasted a short amount of time.
I feel a smaller shot that you could use more often to pull you out of tight corners quicker onto straights each lap (within reason) would work better than a big shot just used in the final straight or at the start. Will be interesting.

Engine swap would be cool though in my opinion. 
NA Tuning should be more realistic.
The cars should have real life tuning parts and real life tuning performance. That means: Cars should have more hp fully tuned. That's how it is in real so why nog in "the real driving simulator"?

Why is everyone concerned with what types of racing nitrous is used. It's a driving simulator. If you dont like it, don't use it.
Why are you talking about nitromethane in a thread about nitrous?
Good luck trying to win a race with a room full of nitrous users
. This is more of a "if you can't beat um, join um".

So true but are talking quarter time or how long the engine will last under the pressure, but to be serious for a second alot of cars had their engine potential limited stock because of the agreement between the major Japanese car companies as result many cars had what appeared to be overly engineered specs for a car with only 300 horsepower ( I think the number was something around 275 but let's just round up).More like 9sec.

Yeah but like I said I don't really remember the number all that well but I do remember it being around 300ish, also I don't really recall if they applied it to international models as well (just a side note). Not to go off topic but I just wish auto-makers would start increase the room in the engine bay a little more newer cars are really annoying to work on sometimes. One can only hope that with Nitrous we can see a return/access to stage 4 or even 5 turbos, for me the best thing would be to allow further customization of boost systems such as single, twin turbo or hybrid charging. Just think a massive hi-rev turbo combine with a twin-screw supercharger, oh it would be amazing to see the power figures. Although the additional weight, space and well keeping the damn thing cooled might be an issue.

The number was 278 bhp, I think.
But I think you're totally right. I think the tuning in GT should be like the tuning in real life. There are 800bhp civics (with original vtec engine), in GT5 you can't make more than 400 bhp. It would be cool if cars could just have a littel more power fully tuned. A twin turbo would also be cool indeed. A twin turbo has less turbolag than a big single turbo. That can be an advantage with some tracks.
EDIT: I looked it up, it is 276 bhp

Yes. I looked at JDM Model of the Supra and it was making 276 hp (206 kW; 280 PS) and 318 lb·ft (431 N·m) of torque.

I think pd has added no nitrous to restrictions for races online probably, for those who don't want people to use it. But in my opinion I think it's going to be fun. Especially with drag racing and high speed tracks like stage x.

@TheKitten It makes more than 276 Hp from the factory, like the Skyline GTRs and various other Japanese sports cars, they are marketed as putting down 276 because of a supposed limit put on machines like this in Japan. Here's an explanation:
