Mine, 100% stock, has a chrome exhaust tip. Floor the gas and it turns black inside. Otherwise, it always stays shiny. (Yeah, I wipe the black stuff out.) It happens right at WOT. Keep it backed off just a bit and it won't soot up.

Take-home tips from the video:

1. Good brakes make you slower

2. Good tires make you faster

3. Coilover suspension *might* make you faster

4. Engines with miles need tune-ups to regain their performance

5. Spoilers are useless on FF cars

Perhaps a tune-up is in order, then, since I don't have good brakes, tires or coilovers!
