i have a 2001 mustang gt auto, its happened 2 times already once on the freway coming back from an a's gamei was going like 85 then i let off the gass and put it up to neutral a big cloud of grey smoke came out of my tail pipes like a seafoamed it, then just now i was racing a mercedez ml 550 (pretty quick suv) i was in 1 then i shifted to 2 then drive and after i was ahead a turn came and i let off the gas and put it into neutral and again big cloud of grey smoke, what could it be?

why are you shifting your automatic into neutral on the freeway?

^ i was thinking the same thing, maybe its just going rich at that moment, you didnt say if it was running funny or anything, and is it only when you put it in neutral after beating on it?
