Junior......there is no way someone can diagnose a burning smell over the internet. You might want to take your car to a mechanic to have him take a look at your Z.

Could be anything..could be a plastic bag that got stuck onto the exhaust and melted which I've seen before and it does give off a burning plastic smell or it could also be a flat in which your sidewall was being demolished giving off the rubber smell..or your car is about to detonate.

Which ever it is, I would take it to a shop.

I came here asking for help ... Not have a smart *** like you comment on my post , if it was that easy you'd think I be here? a 3rd grader can tell you have a "flat ****ing tire"

Anyway just wanted to know if any of you guess experienced anything similar...

Will take it to the shop soon

If your z is a 2006 and has the rev-up engine it could be consuming oil thus a burning smell.

It could be you're running rich or a lot of different issues. Is your oil level low?

I dont think you are in any position to be lecturing anyone about how to comment. If you would use common Fawking sense, it would tell you that unless you give a much more specific description of you exact issues outside of " deererp my tpms bllahhhh, and smells like burning.." MAYBE! someone could actually could actually help you, especially since there could be 100 different reasons for your issue, including that you are too stupid to check your tire if it is flat.

I award you no points.

Chad, not very fair of you-
You didn't even mention the possibility of a seized muffler bearing. As you know, this was common for this year.
