Default Spitting Flames

Still kinda new to everything on the car, but my buddy has a turboed mazda speed 6 and when he puts 100 oct in, his car spits flames. Now the question, can our Z's do that or am I just making myself look stupid on the forums!

Flames out the tailpipe are caused by a rich AFR which leads to hot, unburned fuel igniting when it hits air. You would, at the very least, have to remove the catalytic converter(s). Re-tuning, to run rich, might be required also.

Not sure I would label it as stupid but it's definitely not something I would recommend - especially for a DD.

In short, yes our Z can easily do that. But why would you? The retarded AF mixture will only screw up the car.

Turbo is an exception though.
