Tuning tips:
1. Tune your car to go as fast as possible without nitrous (eg, so far my Minolta has so far got up to 470.72km/h [292mph] without help from nitrous).
2. Then add nitrous. I got the 550.4km/h (341.86) on the third run.
If you just start with nitrous you'll miss out on lots of little tweaks that make a big difference to its ultimate speed. Think of it this way: a 'nitrous' car spends about two-thirds of a top speed run in 'non-nitrous' mode, before you nail it on the final straight. So the difference in the final result actually depends a lot on how fast you can make it go in non-nitrous mode. What speed is your car doing before you hit the nitrous? The answer to that question makes all the difference at the end of the straight.
The Minolta could go faster. I only spent a lunchbreak on all this, just so I could see what all this fuss about nitrous is about. Another hour or so of fiddling with settings will do wonders. Maybe it might even get past 300mph without needing nitrous. That'll make it the second car after the Chaparral 2D to get past 300 without nitrous. That has so far got up to 303.65mph, or 488.88km/h.
