With the stock setup, the way i did it was drive at 6500 rpm for a minute then it was hot enough to blow flames when I got on it and shifted.

It's not good for your cat. And after a while flames are not cool.

I suppose also you'd never know you were actually shooting flames until someone was behind you and saw it... so it's not amazingly cool or anything unless someone sees you do it and thinks it's cool. Which they would :P

there are two kinds of flames.

One that just has flames, and the other one where it violently ignites and you can feel it in the seats.

I shot tons of flames before I experienced the earth shaking kind. At first I thought something seriously wrong had happened. Blew a tire or something. It was that serious.

I could now say something funny about shooting flames, earth shaking effect, and feeling it in my seat, now, but I won't.


It would be too easy.
But I will say it would probably end with something along the lines of "I was so scared that I almost went to the hospital."

yeah mysql's right, theres two kinds of flames with the car lol...the short and poppy ones and then the violent shotgun blasts that you feel shoot through the car lol...the ones in my video were the violent ones for the most part....just off topic for a second, I was just driving the other day downtown and I passed someone while I shifted gear and it popped...the person ducked to the ground like it was a drive-by shooting lol
