Cool My car shoots blue flame?!

I was racing with my buddy yesterday and he mentioned he saw a bright as hell blue flame that came outa my single exaust outet, I was like Blue flame? like compltely blue? and he was like yeah man completly blue. I was ****** extactic. I have an N1 wit a straight pipe and non turbo
My buddy was driving a 200sx and then we pulled up to a supacharged grand prix. My freinds 200sx couldent keep up but when i raced em i was actually really really close to him but i still lost. Anyways the point to this story is i kept up wit a 280hp supacharged grand prix. Of corse it was an automatic so that would account for somthing. Then after the race the dude was like nice flames man!!

blue flames means that the temperature is hotter right?

Blue flames mean more complete combustion, which usually means hotter.

well, when I had just the downpipe on, I shot nice big yellow flames from under the car, they went from the end of the downpipe out the back of the car about 3" past the bumper and left a mark on my garage door Guess that's what a turbo & no exhaust will do to you *shrug* was cool at the time though

Blue means omplete combustion, but if there are any othe colors, then watch out! Other colors mean chemicals are incinerating also!
