• Fire out the back?!?

Is there any way for a stock manual tranny car to shoot flames out the tail? A buddy of mine was telling me that you hold it at a certain rpm for an extended period of time then slam it. Is this bullshit or what? Have any of you guys owned a car that would spit fire?

usually you have to be running fairly rich and have no cats. i've seen a few 240's, barry's wrx, hooman's evo, and derek's FC all shoot some big ones.

i've seen a crx blow some major fire, he was like a low 11 sec car though and my friend i were playing around and trying to get him to run us in his stock 89 240, we stayed with him till we hit second and his big turbo started to spool, then he jumped like 8 car lengths on us, and shot so much fire out of his dunked exhaust i thought he was blasting off (mind you we were driving past NASA in houston in the process)

My RX-8 will shoot small flames when it's being run hard.

Yea most free flowing turbo cars will fart a little fire, my old 62 bug would shoot a big ass flame but hey the exhaust was only like a foot long.

I think I've driven hooman's evo when I loaded it into the tunnel at work haha. It had a CF hood if I remember correctly.......

I'll get my N/A rx7 to fire, It usally happens when I'm running above 5000 and go to down shift for a corner, and yes I have no cat.

my ass will shoot flames after a few bites of my uncle's chili, but then again my ass is running near 18 psi of boost...

my Turbo FC blows fire like someone said earlier. it doesn't backfire like it used to since i put this new motor. i'm kinda dissappointed, i loved scaring the shit outta people with it.

I raced a white FC once... running 145 mph - THEN he shot flames. It scared the living hell out of me, and I almost wrecked my car (err... killed myself). I backed off at that point, and let him take the win. It was a fun race... but frightening as well.
