I have the new MGW racing **** (also had the MGW gripper). Had it for several months now. I also have a VERY sensitive sense of smell (taste buds too)... Never smelled anything unpleasant about the MGW *****.

George hand assembles each **** personally, so maybe he had something on his hands that day?

If your hand smells funny from touching your ****, you **** may need washing. You could also try polishing your **** for awhile. It may increase the odor tho, depending on what you use to polish it with.


On a serious note, if you shifter smells funny, tell your wife/ girlfriend to find somewhere else to sit.

Possibly we can carefully cover all bases by noting that the C5 is a two seater...only.

Are you sure it's the **** that smells?

It's probably either from the molding process or the release agent. A thorough cleaning with DAWN might help.
Or, try something that will mask the odor...w/o being slippery. Maybe LEMON PLEDGE? Now, as to where you apply this odor masking product, that's entirely up to you.

I know the OP didn't mean to, but this is one funny thread and I'm amazed at the restraint some of you have shown!
