Always smoke during hard acceleration...

Hi all,

I have noticed that everytime I push my MS3 hard, I get a moderate amount of white / gray smoke. It is only visible if you are looking for it, or if someone is behind you at night. (You can see the smoke in their headlights.) I have tested the theory by having a friend drive behind me (It wasn't hard...she was just in a regular Mazda 6....) and I purposely drove her hard. Now, I haven't noticed any problems with the car at all. Gas mileage is fine, the power is good, but it just seems odd. I noticed it as well when it was getting Dyno'd too. Anyone else (hopefully everyone) notice this?

Ok sorry that part of your post distracted me....

I agree what you are seeing is probably just the rich exhaust.... the smoke is coming from the tailpipe right and not the engine compartment?
