Default Fumes in driver compartment

When I floor my car from first and leave it in drive, run it up to 85mph and let off ( windows up and AC on) have no fresh air coming into the driver compartment. I seem to get a lot of fumes in the cabin (smell like exhaust) , a friend and my wife both said it was strong. Does anyone else have this happen to them ?

Thanks again Jay.

I don't know what you mean by a "lot of fumes"; however, it is normal to get a faint smell inside the cabin after you have gunned the engine. To me, it smells like carbon. It was this way in my 2009 C6 Coupe and it is this way in my 2014 C7 Coupe.

It's the smell of pure power!

open a vent man, either way not good to inhale any combustion byproducts for long periods
