Question about dark smoke...

Hey,
Just got back from a three day trip to PA, we clocked 435 miles, the car ran great! Four people, loaded down, 27MPG at 80-90MPH. My question is as follows: I was gentle on the car throughout the trip but on one occasion I was driving in front of another car in our caravan on RT-80, on a slight incline, I flipped my turn signal, pressed the sport mode button and just floored it (full throttle). I couldnt see it as much because of the auto dimming mirrors but my friend called and said he saw a rather large dark cloud of smoke coming from the exhaust upon acceleration. It looked like two swirls of a dark fog in my rearview mirror. The smoke we observed was definitely black/dark/grey maybe even blue but not white. I tried, but was not able to, replicate this again. Was this extra fuel dumped while the ECU was trying to cope with the demand for power? nothing to worry about?
Thanks,
Tom
