Default I have. I've been behind Ubercar and SteveRS4 on the track

I've never seen any visible indication of soot.

I will say I have seen it at idle and low rpms on startup, however. And every one of us knows that the back end gets pretty yucky.

Default 3rd

Sometimes I can see a brief black plume behind me. it's noticable -- at least in my car. Other than it not being eco-friendly, i think its amusing.

Default Wind it up a night time and look in the mirror at the cars behind.

When we do dyno testing, we have to open the doors and clear out the room after 2 - 3 runs despite the huge exhaust fans.

From soot or fumes?

Default what's collecting on back of bumper?

if it's heavy loose black stuff, rather than just a discoloring over time, than that's soot vs. just exhaust staining. i think their description of soot is probably accurate.
