One thing I noticed about nearly all of your cars was that your exhaust tips were all really sooty.

Mine are always totally clean (and I don't clean them!).

What gives? Do you all drive around at full throttle all the time? Is it at WOT that the computer says heck with the a/f metering and just lets as much fuel and air dump into the cylinders as possible, thereby resulting in a rich condition that produces black smoke/soot?

Should I be concerned that my car doesn't seem to do this? I did notice on my trip that the car seemed down on power quite significantly. I used full throttle too on the run up to Darren's....

Comments appreciated.
