[B]Thanks for the quick response guys.
I'll have to get it checked out.
Yes, the clutch could be the problem (not really a "burning oil" smell, smells like burnt rubber to me)....but is dropping it around 3 or 4k at launch unusual?

Whoever mentioned "rubber smell" is correct. I've got ~1300 and notice that if the engine is very hot it will have that melting rubber smell. But, this is the same for all new cars. It gets less intense over time. My S2 smells less than it did last month. LOL!! I don't drive it hard at all tho. I haven't gone over 6k yet.
