Your description is of a fabric burning smell. I would raise the car on a rack and carefully examine the underside of the body near the exhaust. Look for char markings. Carefully examine the exterior of your catalytic converters for heat discoloration. Your cats might be clogged. A heat shield might be misplaced.
There is no "fabric" on the undercarriage of the car to char. "Fabric" is confined to interior space. After a high speed 180+ run you could take a non-contact thermometer and look for hot spots in the interior, paying particular attention to the area at the front of carpeting. If you find a hot spot, then peel back carpeting to confirm location. Ultimately, you will address the problem from beneath the car as all hot spots, above coolant temps, are caused by exhaust.
