It is part of the attention to detail that is put into the design of the cars. How on earth do they keep there, mad, bad and crazy reputation?

You can buy a kit for about £30 which will make virtually ANY car do that. It is a boss with a sparkplug thread which is inserted into the tailpipe, about 6" in. A spark plug obviously, and a High-Voltage generator with 12v switch. Will "blue flame" on over-run the tiny amount of unburnt fuel in the exhaust gas. Generally highly tuned and over-fuelled-on-over-run cars burn orange, i rekon that is a flamer kit for it to be blue like that?? Damn cool if it is standard though!

That vid would be hugely improved by editing it back to about 10 seconds. I think that's all that's needed to prove the point. I'm surprised no-one in the crowd told him to shut it.

Doesn't look like a flamer kit flame to me.

Also, I hope the engine wasn't cold when the started doing that. I'd also be concerned about no air getting through the radiators treating it like that for such a prolonged period.

Hi

The F430 in that clip was running NOS, a blue flame can only be produced by nos....

If you're going to make that much of a definitive statement, at least refer to the substance as opposed to a brand name..

I've had our F430 shooting blue flames and not a hint of Nitrous Oxide insight.

Hi

How else would you get flames out the exhaust on full acceleration, unless a diffrent substance is being burnt... I agree on over run with un burnt fuel not a problem, but not on full throttle...

Blatantly a flamer kit with butane gas.......fancy sitting and revving a car on the spot like that for 2 minutes+
