black stuff on exhaust - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have only had my car for less than a week but I have been in Vegas for several days. After returning home I first loved on my little princess but I then had to take the car for a spin. After a 20 minute quickie I noticed several tablespoons of black fluid under the tailpipes. It has been raining here so the road had some wet spots. Long story short it looks like quite a bit of soot since the interior of the pipes are solid black. Yes, I know gas engine and rich mix it is normal. Just thought I would share in case others experience it.
