Smell after driving car ???
Does anyone notice that after driving their car say sitting in the garage gives off a smell not necessarily a burning smell but kind of smells hot maybe the best way to explain it. I had a 2006 Z06 and now have a 2013 427 vert. and it appears that they both have the same issue. I am just trying to see if anyone else experiences this as well and if this is normal. Is is just due to being the big 427 v8 motor? |
Swap out that OE x-pipe for a Corsa x-pipe to eliminate the two extra cats that your '06 didn't have, and maybe some of that "hot smell" goes away. :D

I’m longtubes, H/C and my clothes smell after driving the car. Exhaust smell. The wife likes it .... 😜 |
That smell is normal. As long as all fluid temps are in a normal range and it’s not a noxious burning smell, all is good. |
Just make sure it isn't a fuel smell.. There is a history of leaking fuel pumps - just something for others to watch out for (I don't believe you would be so unlucky as to have two cars with that problem). :cheers:

I have the same smell after hard throttle. Many have said the same. Seems normal. |
Funny, i had the same problem since the car was new. Burning plastic, rubber smell, around driver side rear wheel well. I have numerous times checked the underneath, even the backs of mufflers for stickers, cannot find a thing. Maybe the rubber exhaust hangers? Next time i have to look at those, even maybe the starter solenoid area which is plastic and gets lot if heat. After 7 years it is still a mystery.

Hmm. My car never had that smell until after I added a cam an got it tuned. Now it does get that hot smell. No oil leaks, I have crawled under an checked. I wonder if higher exhaust temperatures are the culprit? I still have factory manifolds and cats, but have an X-pipe.

I too smell the America from the car if I take it above 6000 rpm. I think it’s just a little blow by oil? |
Could it be a/c condensation burning off?
