hey fellas last night i was stopped at a red light with my windows down and i felt a bunch of heat coming up form under my car. i looked under the car later and noticed that there is a sh%t load of heat coming out form under the engine and/or car. You guys notice this at all? im talking the kind of heat where i couldnt really put my hand near the cat for over 3 seconds without my skin melting off. And the exhuast tips....can't stand too closly behind my car without your shins catching on fire. this normal

Thats a typical mod motor for you. You probaly didn't notice it before. But these cars love to be hot. What did you temp gauge say, was it in the normal?

Nothing to worry about. Your car is completely normal.
