its also that it is running allot hotter than normal so any dirt/ debris/ oil / fluid drops are slowly burning off, and electronics have a "sweet" smell when heated greatly...
probably some combination of those..

Sometimes when i am driving my ZR real hard i start to smell almost like burning rubber or a slipping belt melting smell mixed with melted electrical tape lol. I wasnt sure if its coming from my front tires or the engine bay area.

The SULFUR smell is actually your catalytic converter,(for those who still have one). Esp. if you have a aftermarket exhaust system it smells a bit stronger. You shouldn't too much about it. Now it you don't have a cat converter I would get your car looked at.
