I took my IS 350 for a pretty rough drive for 10 minutes, trying to push its limits by accelerating fast and turning at high speeds. When I got out of the car I smelled this smokey/burned smell coming from my car...but not sure where exactly. I assume this is coming from my tires right? I hope I didn't damage my car or anything.

Maybe the brakes??

Probably the brakes. You should be fine.

When I use sports mode and hit the rev limiter, it smells like burnt oil right away.

Also, when i push the car, the brakes burn up!

You left out a crucial piece of information -- your car was less than a week old when this happened, right? (In an earlier post you said you got your car 3/29/08) Don't worry, dozens of people have reported getting that burnt oil smell during the first couple of weeks, it's just the cosmoline burning off the exhaust and heat shields.

Isn't that a bad thing that the rust-prevention is being burnt off?
