The "people" doing this are exactly the type of people you'd expect...

Just the first thing that came up in a youtube search, there are thousands more:

Wait, this isn't something that they configure the truck to do all the time? They can turn it on and off?

I thought this was some shitty way of being "special", like a loud exhaust, but being able to turn it on and off to gas people is downright evil.

  • It's not a "switch" per-se (though some of the kits have realtime tuning switches to make more/less smoke on demand).

    It's a purposely poorly-turned engine + accelerator control.

    TL;DR: poor turning, and floor it (high RPM).

    This video gives a pretty good overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miTnnJ7xMv8

    • Ah, even worse, you can gas people and your engine pollutes normally as well.

      I didn't think people would be this shitty, but here we are.
