probably your catalytic converter if you still have one (stock exhaust). if not that it's your clutch, but the two smell different. the c. c. smells like rotten eggs, and the clutch smells like burnt rubber mixed with something dead (hard to describe)--i know this from experience because the crossfire i had before's clutch shattered and you could smell in the car and really bad when the hood was opened. my
'07 had a strange smell from the engine for the first 200-400 miles--from the engine being new.

Seriously, all this talk of being afraid to redline the car is ridiculous. We seem to have a new wave of wusses buying Z's or something because these threads keep popping up. Seriously, go out there and drive the car hard. It was made for it!
Thats cool. I thought it was ok, just a bit concerned. Yeah I rode the clutch a bit too much. live and lerarn.
