Anyone else notice exhaust condensation (?) blowout on full throttle?

Didn't notice it happening in the Summer.

When cooler Fall weather arrived and I floored the accelerator, I see what appears to be a decent amount of "spray" coming out of what I think is the exhaust.

Not a "cloud", but similar to as if you went over a patch of water on the road and it sprayed out.

Car otherwise running great, no warning lights, ~9,000 miles on the odometer.

Its normal. During the colder months the exhaust tends to accumulate more condensations than normal, due to the metal cooling quicker and remaining colder than in the summer months. So when you give it the beans it will expel whatever condensation has not come out of the exhaust during normal driving.

Good to know. Never noticed it happen on my Fusion Sport, Taurus SHO or S550 Mustang GT, that's why I asked.

What type of fuel are you running? higher octane does the same if you haven't been in the floor in a while.
