My wife and I were on our way to do some Xmas shopping and come to a stop light. There was a moded civic in the left lane and an older camaro in the right lane. The light turned green and the camaro started to go and then the civic went and then a race started, the camaro gained a half a car on the civic and then all of a sudden I saw a huge poof of smoke come from the exhaust of the civic and he was gone.

A question, was that nitrous, or turbo? I have never seen that before and am very curious.

If it was black smoke I'm sure it's turbo.

You would have smelled something sweet if it was nitrous oxide.

Or it coulda been a Bad ass NA motor. I was took once by a EK9 or 6 or whatever. I swore he had nitrous by the way he pulled on me. Turned out it was V-tech:D

When I was running my nitrous kit on the old KAslow people from behind me would always tell me my exhaust smelled sweet. No one ever really said anthing about it smelling like a rotton egg though.

I concur with Nismo here...
It wasn't smoke at all guys, that was steam being purged from the Sanyo rice cooker he had stuffed under the hood. =)

If he had a turbo, and he was riced out, good chance you would have heard the bov.
