Does TL puff any white/black smoke when WOT ?
The reason I asked is because last night I was following a Civic at freeway speed and when the driver noticed I was behind him, he went WOT his stock Civic and I noticed a white smoke puffed out from the tail pipe. 
Needless to say, I still managed to switch lane and say "bye bye". 
So, I am just curious to find out if our engine will actually puff any smoke when WOT.
Cheers !!!

the black smoke would have been carbon, white usually means its burning antifreeze. it coulda been the lighting that made it look like that. but no our cars shouldnt smoke. you may get a little puff of blackish smoke for a sec if its been along time since the car has been floored

Mine did that when I first got my GSR motor dropped in my Civic, it had a funny odor too. For like the first week it was going through anti-freeze like it was going out of style. So I took it back to the shop and that's what it was, burning anti-freeze. They fixed in a matter of minutes and it didn't happen again. Better not happen in the TLS though!
