Right. The thing is a lot of people who put Nitrous on their daily driver use it, say, on the ramp going on to a freeway or in order to pull hard up a big hill. It's not redlight to redlight fast, unless you can get new bottles all teh time but then again it's a Prelude. It wasn't meant to be a really fast car.
Of course you still have to put the power to the pavement so sportier tires might be in order as well.
