Black smoke???
The other night I was driving down the highway when out of no where this black Porsche turbo pulls up to me and wants to race. Well, I couldn't let the opportunity to race a Porsche Turbo go 
.
He started pulling on me pretty bad after about 110 which I figured was going to happen what I didn't expect was this black cloud of smoke coming from the back of my car
I pulled over only to see a little bit of white smoke coming from my exhaust. The car drove fine no lights, messages, ect. What could this have been?

Black smoke isn't a worry, could mean that your just burning oil on high loads, but white smoke, means coolant is getting past your gaskets, and getting into the combustion chamber. Have it checked out. To verify this, stomp on it at 40 mph up to 100 mph, and see if you still have this problem. If not, then it could have been condensation. i don't think that you have blown head gaskets, because you would definitely have more problems then just white smoke.
