To consider a turbo or supercharger legit while saying n2o is not is not logical. They are all considered power adders. And to say it is hard on internals...sounds like your talking out yer ass because all three are, just with n2o it is way to easy to just bump it up, hence the bad rap about internals. Take your average v8 f-bod, can handle a 150 shot all day long, no probs. But you get some goof who decides to up it to 250 and all of a sudden n2o is bad.
Until you ride in a bad car that runs a powerful, well tuned n2o setup, don't bad mouth it.

Daily driving you shouldnt see any problems, but when you go screwing with things, you better know whats going on. It was awesome to drive a car that revved like a sportbike. The dealer told me that the clutch engaged best around 2500, but whenever I hit the gas it jumped up to 3500.....I powershifted it at 8500 1-2 and the damn thing broke loose on me. Not too shabby for 238 HP. I see great things in Mazda's future. The interior finish is better than many cars almost twice the price that I have seen. And i don't think that I have to even go into handling. I was thoroughly impressed. If I hadnt heard a rumor that the 7 might be coming back I would probably buy one....great deal for 30 grand.
