Hey all, I just bought a used 2016 Camaro automatic . The other day it just ticked over to 3000 miles, so for the first time since I have owned the car (I put 2000 miles on it myself never going over 3k revs until yesterday) I took it to 6k and to about 90 miles an hour. As I slowed down (no brakes until the very end) I noticed a faint burning smell coming through my cabin. This car has been to the dealership multiple times and has had everything checked out with no issues. So I was a little worried about this smell. Does anyone have any clue what it could be?

I could see the exhaust manifolds possibly getting hot enough to cook off a little residue. I wouldn't worry about it unless you spot a visible leak somewhere.

yep, you have to remember that your engine never been really hot. All the residues from the assembly line is still on it. Keep an eye on it. It should go after a few hot laps. Long Highway rides are also ok.

On a side note.

The worst thing you could have done to the engine is not rev it above 3k for the first few thousand miles of its life.
