Hitting Rev Limiter, smell afterwards...
A couple of times when I've accidently hit the rev limiter (in gear), there's been a funny smell afterwards for about 10-20 seconds, is this normal? If so, whats the cause?

With a 2000 S2000, or any AP1, its common to smell oil in VTEC - F20 engines burn oil when its engaged. All the rev limiter is is a fuel cut off, so you don't do any damage by hitting it on acceleration.
