On the other hand, flames resulting from the actual car would be so awesome! I doubt that would ever happen though.

For example, I saw this video of a car on a dyno and the catalytic converter was simply glowing red hot. Some headers will do that too, after a night of hard driving.

In my mind, that's almost admirable!
If you run a shit-load of boost, have no cat, and run rediculously rich, you will be bound to shoot flames about every shift. But on a stock car, it just isn't possible.
