    I've seen it in a few videos (corny I know but in the movie version of Miami Vice) but some Ferrari exghausts have blue flames coming out the back. Is this a specific exghaust that does this or is it something else?

    This video always has some neat shots of the blue flames!

    Pretty sick huh? The night part at the end of the video is really cool. I have no idea what the guy was saying. One part I did understand was "**** off", lol.

    Last year I was driving down the Autobahn on the right lane when a Mangusta passed me on the left with a deep growling sound. Behind him followed an elderly man in a VW Golf. The Mangusta driver approached another car in front of him and shifted down, with two giant flames, each surely 2/3 of a meter long, shooting out of the exhausts. I've never seen something like that before, the guy in the VW nearly **** his pants when he saw the flames coming :D

    F40's can throw some flame with aftermarket exhaust modifications. Check out youtube for that.

    On a previous post here in FC, I read that F430's stock from factory like the one in Miami Vice can throw out blue flames under hard driving and are suppose to do that.

    Stock Gallardos and F-430s can do this without any mods.

    As for the flame throwers mods, do this and say good-bye to your insurance !

    I had an early MV Agusta F-4 that would throw comically big flames on throttle off down hill deceleration due to poor mapping.
