Here is a short video my friend took of me tonight on the way to his house. Its 2 3rd gear pulls, with a huge flame shooting out at the end of the 2nd pull:iceslolan. First pull is from about 60-100 and 2nd pull is from like 3200rpms in 3rd to 6600 so about 50-100mph. Just thought Id share it!

That's not a huge flame. that's just a little poppy pop. ;)
I've done that with my old SR20 in the Datsun. Where it was actual fire flowing out the exhaust for roughly 3-4 seconds (actually almost got that on film once, but the guy filming just sat the camera down in a chase vehicle when it flamed on). Did it often enough the back of the car was actually yellowed/charred by 'fire' damage.
But... flames are always cool regardless of how big or small. So, I give you thumbs up for that! :)
Actually, that reminds me of a time I was leaving a friends house in the ol' Datto and he lived in a quiet little residential neighborhood that had over grown trees with sparse street lights. Which made for really dark streets at night. As I was driving down his street, like by that I mean just cruising real slow since it was a residential. Being that it was so dark out and nothing was behind me on the street it was pitch black in my rear view mirrors.
As I pulled up to a stop sign, everything behind me lit up in yellow glow, i look in my rear view and I can see cars around me basking in firey glow. I glimpse to my driver side mirror and i can see flames dancing out past the side of the car. I was like "holy F!" Normally, it only would load up and shoot fire if I was really on it and let off and let it engine brake dumping unburnt fuel through the hot exhaust.
But I was just basically coasting up to the stop sign... Epic! haha
I miss that little car sometimes... :(
Now I'm sad... thanks a lot Torched. I'mma ban you for a day for bringing up memories. :( lol

NOES!!! NO BAN! lol
I would shit my pants if it started flaming coming up to a stop sign!
I paused my video and the flame is about 2 feet tall and a few feet long. Ive shot bigger (especially when my old muffler blew up!), but its cold out so I was running a bit lean so it wasnt as big as usual. It usually shoots one every single time I no lift shift or do a pull and just slowly throw it in the next gear. Ill have to get some more vids up close when it warms up out!
