When I use to go to some circle track racing there was a 70 something vette in the crowd every weekend that would do that to get peoples attention. It worked it was awesome.

Keep us updated.
As far as I know you would have to put a spark plug in each tailpipe, make sure you don't have cats, and make sure the ignition source can trigger both tailpipes.
Kinda dangerous for two reasons, one being melted bumpers, two being (and this is why I haven't done it yet) can't control flame length.
I would only do it if I coupld make 6-12 inch flames. If it is random, you could do some damage.
Otherwise I am all for it!

While it is true you really can't adjust the flame length, my plan has been to use a capacitor. That way the flames will be somewhat "limited". This way you wont have a fire out back instead of flames...hopefully, theres always the chance (which seems pretty good to me) that you will lose that rear bumper. I think it would be cool if it was rigged up perfectly. Otherwise I'm sure there are going to be problems.
