some of the imports run really high levels of fuel cause of the big turbos. when the boost is realeased, the extra fuel in system ingites in the exhaust and sends fire out the back.

I have seen that on a Camaro here in town. I was behind him going around 45 mph. I think some people put a spark plug at the end of the exhaust to ignite the unburned gasoline fumes. Then agian I might be wrong.

With enough exhaust enrichment and velocity
you could put out a burnable mix.
I saw a little Toyota funny car type vehicle at the
track the other week and he would shoot flames
when he got high enough in RPM that he started
to misfire. He only had about 2' exhaust pipes off
the motor out the side.
I got flames out of my old Fiat 2000 Spider when
the leaded fuel I decided to run through it killed
the O2 sensor. Carb intake from an earlier year
and a Pinto 2BBL fixed that.

you also have to remember what youre dealing with. a Rotary high compression turbo-ed engine. i've heard (note: heard) that you can do it on the old RX7's just by taking off the cat and it will shoot flame. RX7's are bad ***. thats not just an effect thing my friend.
