is it normal
is it normal for my car to spew out some smoke upon hard acceleration? My cousin was driving behind me, and noticed when i floor it, there's a slight puff of smoke from my exhaust.

On start up -- yes.
On hard acceleration -- no.
What color was the smoke?

Are you stock or tuned?
Blue = oil
White = coolant
Black = fuel.

Black is the least worrisome color, but you're running rich. Maybe a dead spark plug? Bad tuning? How does the car feel otherwise? Any stuttering?

stock---my guess is its running rich. theres no power loss, so probably not oil---although over time i have to top it off

Running too rich. If you have in CA, automatic fail on Smog Check. Like other said, rich is okay, but lean is not.
