How many miles? It went away for me after about 100 miles (maybe less).

It's a new engine, you're going to smell it after driving it for a while. Mine is the same way.

They all do that. Like others have stated, it burns off after a few hundred miles or so. Otherwise, remember to close the vents and recirculate the air in the car so those smells aren't coming in as strongly.

My GTPP smelled of burnt clutch, burnt rubber, antifreeze, and oil for the first 120 miles.

It'll dissipate.

i have been smelling a lot of burnt rubber over the past several days - but, that is easily explained by Line Lock. :love:

116 miles so far. I hope so. Never had a new car that smelled like that and I have had my share.

No need for line lock when you leave rubber in 2nd!

I love the stink lol I'm a 100 or so miles in and it still smells. Catching 3rd gear rubber.

No kidding.

I was like, "Hey, how much of a difference can track mode REALLY make?"

Then I got onto a freeway from a 5mph roll......
