A lot of smoke when launching hard in first gear
A lot of smoke when launching hard in first gear
I have an 2011 G37x sedan and when I floor it in first gear, I notice that there is a lot of smoke when I look in the rearview mirror afterwards. Is this normal or is it just because of the weather which is 30-40 degrees F. I also don't think it's the tires. No screeching, rubbing, or jumpyness. So I feel all of that is from the exhaust.
Has the vehicle fully warmed up, if not then it's not uncommon, otherwise depending on color and amount of smoke there may be cause for concern.
Here's a link explaining what to look for

Oops... vapor then. Think of your car starting on a cold morning and the vapor coming from the exhaust while idling and now multiply that by 10 times and thats the cloud left by me after a take off in first gear. It's not a trail but a cloud such as if I were sitting in one spot and revving the engine.
