820HP su[percharged Cizeta.

These photos are a good example of a backfire that I only just managed to time acceptably. Few thousands of a second earlier and it would have looked like my car was on fire. Fraction later would have been spot on but I can live with it.

Actually paused it to this on accident. Didn't even realize the awesome backfires that were going, so I had to take these shots.

my try... can't get the flames to be anything but streaks though
 
Took this alongside some other Viper pics, but I never bothered posting this one until now:

This is also my GT5 profile picture.
 
I just got an awesome 2 foot flame out of my F40, but I couldn't pause it it in time, so I raegquit, and obviously forgot to save the replay T.T I wish Kaz would implement rewind and slow-mo soon T.T
 
Didn`t try to hard for this one but it turned out to be one of my best

It's so frustrating..It's hard to pause at the right time..when are they going to bring rewinding???
 
That first F40 pic is incredible. Good job!

My try now, got way too excited and forgot to save pics from the back of the car

Someone noticed, that the flames are often displaced and not, where the exhaust is?

It happened a few times, that I paused the game at the right moment, the flames came out of the exhaust. But when I made the photo, the flames where next to them at the door or the fender (when you have side pipes)

I can support this. On those pictures I posted of the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP backfiring, when I paused it, the flames were actually shooting out from behind the rear wheels. But when I took the shot, it appeared as it's seen on the picture.

wut :dunce:

its like poooofff , fizz and then thats all folks

love this one its my pc screen saver now
 
I have a few tips I'd like to share.

EDIT: I found a better way to do this standing still so the flame is in the right spot, simply park and rev the engine from 2500 rpm up the redline. There is a certain slow rythem that will yeild good results, if you do it too fast it wont backfire.

I found that if you drive slowly while causing backfires you have a better chance of the placement of the flame being right. Ideally if you could do this while not moving at all the flame placement could be perfect.

By shifting up and down through the gears, either up down up down or 6th to 1st and vise versa, you can get a backfire almost every shift, provided its the type of high powered car that likes to backfire.

So my method is to do a slow run shifting back and forth for a minute or two, then to watch the replay and pausing qiuckly over and over. I've gotten tons and tons of shots timed right this way, but the placement of the flame is still hit or miss. I think I only gotten 1 perfect shot which i just lost by reinstalling my game data.

My first attempt at a backfire shot and with photomode in general
 
If diesels can backfire, why not hybrids? LOL nice catch 👍
