whats a sneaky pete?

if i had n20 on mine
id fab up some kind of remote value
so if u get pulled over, u just push the button, and the bottle releases its contents into the trunk, slowly of course.. dont want a missle coming out of your tailight headed at the officer!!!

It's a small shot of nitrous that's very well hidden within the car. The bottle is the size of an octane booster. Racers usually use it towards the end of the race if it's close to give them that extra push to the finish line.

I saw a kit but it was a while back. I'm sure you can find it somewhere here on the net.

i've had nitrous in my car for almost a year now and have been pulled over a number of times for my exhaust. ive had 3 chp look under the hood but i have the solenoids on the back fire wall so they can't see them. i was reading throught the vehicle code and found that it is legal to have the solenoids in the car but you can't have the bottle hooked up to it. I ask a cop the other day and he said it will vary from cop to cop it depends on if they feel like busting your balls or not. as for me im leaving mine in

he may have just been trying to scare me but, i think if you get caught with it they will impound your car, because their theory is
"if you have it installed and driving it on the street your using it"
so id just leave the bottle out of the trunk and in the garage until u know you have to use it.

the impound thing, but be if your racing and have it, but it was awhile ago when i talked to him about it

My dads a retired Chief and I get soooo much sh*t about performance mods. Even if they're legal, (mostly with the exhaust). It gets really annoying. And he drove a '66 GTO when he was my age and was always modding his car.
