Hi everyone!
This has been on my mind for some time.. For those who know, my S3 was 605bhp built and mapped by badger5 and occasionally will flame (meth helping) which I personally feel is cool! It would only happen on WOT and hitting the limiter. It happened to be that once I was spotted by the local plod, which he just pulled along side in tesco to question my car. He wasn't rude or anything but did say he saw flames. He also said it was illegal to have your car flame and could be towed away if it was seen again. (Must of thought I had some flame kit).
I just went on my way and never thought much of it, but what I can't get my head around is, if it is illegal then how come these Aventadors, mclarens etc.. Flame out from a standard car?? Surely this would be illegal too? I know my cars modified but only talking about the flame illegality, is it actually illegal? If so how do Lamborghini and co get away with their cars flaming the way they do?
Thanks
