Default Black smoke when I drop the hammer.....

Last night I noticed as I merged onto the highway and punched it, as it dropped from 5 to 4 a huge cloud of darkish smoke came out the pipes. I could repeat it a couple of times by using tip and dropping gears and accelerating - but not always. Tried to do it again this morning and didn't see anything. Should I be worried? What does this mean? Time to cut and run?

Carbon deposits? Drop the hammer more often. 77m it's still a pup.

Do you often make short trips where the car doesn't warm up all the way?
