This vid has some foul language in it, so if this offends you, please either turn the sound off, or please don't open and view it. For the rest of you, this is rather, uhhhh, interesting.

So now having seen the reaction from a carload of adolescent highschool kids, what caused the flame?

I suspect oil leaking from a turbo bearing under high boost conditions.

Bloody hell! Hope the bloke keeps an extinguisher in the car - it didn't look like it was doing much for the paintwork on his back end!

Yep I reckon you're spot on with the oil from turbo bearings theory - if it was over injection of petrol then with a mixture that over-rich the engine would probably have stalled...

If that is the vid I think it is (can't open it, at work), a dark 3.2 turbo filmed by kids in a truck at night, then it's a 750+ bhp turbo'd 3.2 lump. I think the guy had just changed a load of stuff on the car and it had not been remapped, so flames were over fueling on lift off rather than oil...
