here's a link to a nice track video of a McLaren F1... if you watch the exhaust around the half way point in the video, you can see a few flames start to billow out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFohssyZ2mo

I took this picture during the Ferrari Racing Days at the Nürburgring. FXX belongs to an F-Chatter. Best, Peter Image Unavailable, Please Login
[nerdy tech info ahead] It's not a backfire at all that causes the fire and explosive sound in cars like these. It's actually decel fueling (aka an overly rich condition when it's at almost 0 throttle) and a good deal of raw fuel going through the exhaust the pop and fire. It's done intentionally for quite a few reasons other than looking/sounding really neat. Calling it a backfire makes it sound like a misfiring, malfunctioning car which is far from whats occurring. Now when you see a mid/rear engine turbo car with fire shooting out of the wastegate dumps (only due to being extremely close to the exhaust ports) and a pair of big turbos screaming, that will give you a tingle in your shorts

CS ? No... It's the car of Andy_hls an fchat member from the UK. Here the tread and the pics http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107878
I can think of the following: - Black 512 - red 355 - red 360 (I have pictures of it somewhere) - 4 Dinos (one owned by a vet that makes house calls!) - red BB (but I have not seen that one) in years That is all I can think of right now....sad when I can name most of them!
I know mate. Someone asked if it was a 348CS earlier. I just agreed with him. I know its not. Andy has built an awesome 348!
Sorry not Ferrari but still a great picture!! This could fit in another post as well,(Glowing brakes) Image Unavailable, Please Login

Yes, and so strange that the sparcs are in a completely different spot, just shows how fast those F1 are!
