Burning Smell
 
When I go full throttle at any gear, after a few second, I get a light burning smell. Once I let up on the gas peddle, the smell quickly goes away. My clutch feels fine...Don't feel like its dying. Anyone else have the same smell?

BTW, I have 13k miles, never been raced or launched. I treat this car better than I treat myself lol.

It's got to be:

1) A belt slipping,
2) Something near the exhaust manifold, exhaust, or turbo, or
3) The clutch slipping.

Get in 4th or 5th on the highway at about 3000 RPMs and floor it; if the tach goes up but the speedo doesn't, it's the clutch; if all is well, check for #1 or 2.
