Ok this debate has gone a little further then the issue at hand.
My thoughts on this are that there should be more driver training. It all comes down to competency. To the person who said "under 25s should be a 100 horsepower" is utter crap. Would that apply to Lewis Hamilton also who is 24?
I'm under 25 but I will bet my bottom dollar that I am a better driver then MANY people twice my age with BUNDLES more experience then me. How do I know that? Because I'm used to driving fast at track days, go-karting weekly as a kid, being a petrolhead generally, etc... others are used to poddling along below 30mph all the time and have been doing so for 40 years!
I also don't like the way nitrous has been singled out in the BBC video. My car is probably one of the only 350z's in the world that has that particular WON kit on it... and I know that NOT having power on tap all the time reduces the number of times I have that extra power, hence will definately not use it as much. Not to mention paying £60 every time I want to fill the bottle... I mean, people that do this stuff aren't stupid!. Modding costs money! Nitrous is a CONTINUAL cost! And if Mr.AA realised how deep a 17 year olds pockets would have to be in order to add 200bhp to pretty much ANY car then he would perhaps think twice... Not to say he doesn't and is just being a deliberate tw*t??!
As a result, this hasn't gone down too well on the WON forum (run by the person in the video): http://forum.nitrous-advice.org/viewtop ... f=6&t=4320
