Default funky smell after giving it hell
My 2004 XJR gives an odd smell after giving test rides to my friends.(Smash the gas and get up to 110 and kick butt around the country block.) I get back and I have never smelled tires/brakes/motor like this odor.Anyone have ideas or the same smell?Take care, Dave

Thanks Steve.....it all makes sense now. Just stinking exhaust.I guess it's common with supercharged cars. Take care,Dave
