what does it smell like?
Gas? burnt oil? or tires?

My 90 LS will have a light tint of a gas smell after I floor it or go around a corner or two at a fast speed.

It has to do with the MTB **** they put in there the Shell and Exxon gas doesn't burn well so the smell is that **** coming out un-burnt. you cann't smell it after you car heats up cause the cats burn it off before it comes out...
