only noticeable on hard runs (e.g. tracktime, mountain driving, hard highway pulls), if not at WOT or High RPM the smell is not apparent at all.
Anyone have any answers on the cause? Took it into the dealer but they said they didnt know what it was/couldnt reproduce it, but its definitely there after you do a couple of hard WOT pulls.
Cheers

Clutch, oil that leaked somewhere metal and then dried, or brake/clutch fluid.
Most likely clutch on pulls.
