Either this car didn't have it, or those little pillar mounted chrome tuner fire extinguishers are just for show. You would think the owner after having twin NOS bottles and a torch nontheless would've atleast invested a few bucks in a fire extinguisher... Ahh the logical mentality of the street racer hard at work again.

Just to be clear, Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is an inert oxidizer; non-flamable. Oxidizers feed oxygen to support combustion but it's really the fuel that is burning. No fuel = no fire. No oxygen = no fire, too, but air (obviously) has oxygen as well so, unless you are living in a vacuum, it is really the fuel that is the primary hazzard. Every car has fuel, so every car needs a fire extingusher. Certainly, an engine pushed to it's limits is more likely to grenade, and wet Nitrous systems can potentially experience a fuel solenoid failure (it's happened to me, personally), but all cars -- particularly those that are modified and/or maintained by amatures -- are at risk. I've had a float bowl overfill and spill onto my headers, a leaking pusation damper, a rotted rubber fuel line, and many other fuel-spill hazzards that had nothing to do with Nitrous Oxide. Thankfully, none resulted in fire.
Again, Nitrous Oxide does not really increase the risk of fire more than, say, a mechanically inept owner using the wrong kind of fuel line or making some other common mistake. I just wanted people to understand that the gas is totally inert.

Please allow me to be the first to say. Pwned. Question is...dry or wet chemical fire extinguisher? Since its fuel its logically the powdered crap? Or do you want to go for the choking power of the chemical cloud?
