    We picked up a 430 last night , I was following the car on hwy 427,and noticed blue flames from the exhaust and it wasnt just on downshift as it continued to burn for few seconds,they would burn longer at times.This car has stock exhaust. I've seen flames from the exhaust on the 355's ,but thats with tubi and test pipes[they were orange and blue], and they happened only between red line shifts. I've have never experienced this before on any car,I actually thought there was something wrong with the car.As anyone followed a 430 at night and noticed or heard of it.

    We took part in a nighttime track event at Magny COurs.

    All 430's and to a slightly lesser extent CS's had blue flames from their exhausts.

    Quite normal and damned impressive!

    on racingflix.com there is a video where you can see the exaust pipes burning blue. In fact, there may be two of them. Search either 430 or blue exaust tips.

    I never thought flames would actually come from the exhaust of a modern production car.
