You're probably burning your clutch.

Is this a ONE TIME thing? maybe something got on your exhaust system...like a plastic shopping bag or something.

I drive my car hard and often as thats why io built it thew way I did. After a good hard run around, I get out and can smell a stong smell. its almost like clutch but god knows I am not burning that, then its like that new exhaust smell but its not new anymore which leads me to know its just the lovely smell of no cat mixed with the burning of oil at high rpm's

Its normal, dont worrie man!

If its an AP1 I would have to agree with the burning oil also.

AP2 id be a bit more skeptical.

in the manual it says its normal to burn a bit of oil if this is the problem just put in some more oil. no big deal.
