Finally!! I have reached 1000 miles on my car. I haven't gotten my first oil change, but i'll probably do it shortly.

Being that i hit 1000 miles i really wanted to hit redline and push that bad boy for the first time. I have to say the power is night and day from 2-4k and 5k-redline. What concerned me is that after i pulled over, i noticed a smell coming from either the engine or the tranny...couldn't tell where. do you think this smell is normal, being that it's the first time i've ever pushed the engine passed 4kish?
