Burning smell when I gas hard
Last night, when I was showing off my G to my friend in the back seat, he told me he noticed a burning smell when I pushed it to over 100mph. I also noticed a slight burning smell the second time I did it. Is this normal for a G?

You are smelling everything "breaking-in". You are getting the brakes and hoses and exhaust hot. The first few times this happens residue from the manufacturing process will burn off. Consider it like new car smell.

was the fresh air button on? that was probably the reason, i notice the car smelling of clutch burning when i just drive it hard and the fresh air button was on.

Everybody's saying its the new car burn. I have 7300 miles on it and its about 5 months old. Its also an AT.
Could it be the oil? I got it changed at some 10 minute penzoil place, not the stealership.
Also its a slight smell, not burning sensation smell. Just wondering if anyone experienced this before.
And the fresh air button is always on, get some better air circulation for better MPG

Is there a way to check the oil to see if its good? What color/texture do you look for in the dipstick?
