Driving on a planet with an atmosphere of NO2?

[Bleubird]

Would there be any positives or negatives besides the obvious plus?

Almost mandatory forced induction, exploding head gaskets, destroying valvetrains, impairing PCV function, straining fuel delivery, much larger required spark, extremely sensitive timing, and carrying heavy breather gear for the occupants...?

The "obvious plus" ?
What might that be?

A lot would depend on what you were driving and who was driving it.

Maybe it's a stupid idea, i'm sure NO2 continuously would tear your engine apart.

Yes, I know about nitrous oxide injection.
That is a small percentage of the actual gases going into the engine.

An atmosphere of pure NO2 results in the obvious drawbacks that amtseung listed above.
