Finally got it to work with a different car (Enzo). I think the Murcielago SV's backfires just don't show up. :(
EDIT: Some really nice photos there. :drool:
 
it's like a little fart :)
My Honda can do that!.(still new at photo mode)
not the best as you can tell, very hard to capture.

It's hit and miss for me really, sometimes they show up, sometimes they don't and sometimes there almost inside the back box/muffler and you only see the edge of the flames.

Hate to admit it, but I caught this by accident without even trying :bowdown:

That's the best I can do so far, if I raised the shutter speed the backfire vanished.

I haven't tried backfires yet, but i can't even get the Fireworks from the SSR Stage to show up on replay.

I've had the same problem. I saved a replay in an SLS AMG on SSR7, and the fireworks didn't show in the replay at all. I then took a run with a 300SL and they showed up, so I got a few shots. It's weird.

I've also noticed a weird problem when taking a shot. I was taking a close shot of my exhaust on a C63 AMG, and noticed the camera shifted to the side a bit after I took the shot. It was a different angle than what I had framed up, it was really weird.

Yeah i had the same problem with my Corvette when i shot my backfire pictures. Sometimes it was ok, sometimes the camera went crazy :D. Just happened in the Replay function.

Again, I have not tuned the engine(Is this car really THIS powerful?). And as you can see, I had to play around with the camera options a lot to capture the flames.
