Together with cars Nitro usually means either: 1) Nitrous Oxide, or 2) Nitro Methanol Nitrous Oxide is an oxygen-rich gas. When you feed it into an engine you increase the amount of oxygen, and with more oxygen the engine can burn more fuel. With more fuel to burn the engine can make more power. It's horsepower on a bottle. Do note that if you don't ramp up the fuel intake to match the added oxygen level you won't get any effect from the Nitro. Making more power will always put more stress on the engine, so reliability can suffer. Nitro Methanol is a special fuel, mostly used only by dedicated dragsters on racetracks, and by high-performance r/c models. It's expensive, chemically quite nasty stuff, but the way to go for massive power. == ==
