Any car can do this. Some places even make kits to install on old cars that make a nice flame and backfire.

Would you like a new exhaust system? At highway speeds, leave car in gear and turn off ignition and coast 5-10 seconds (not coast actually - engine brake) this will put plenty of unburned fuel in the pipes. Then turn car back on, S##T in pants, pull over, pick up parts.

From what I've read, there's some sort of "ignitor" almost like that of a grill that will ignite the gas fumes. It's made for older cars, such as those without any emissions equipment that run a little on the rich side. It's mostly for looks.

ITs called Key banging. Pretty common knowledge were I am from. IT can be down without breaking exhuast components if they are aready broken-in! LOL
