Smells like gunpowder smoke?
Yesterday and today, I did short 100+ mph WOT blasts, and for a short time afterward, I smelled what smells kind of like gunpowder smoke. Nothing seemed to be overheated, and the engine looked fine. Any idea what would make that kind of smell? Blowing out the carbon, lol? I don't drive that that often. But the first one was brought about by an 80's Cutlass hitting the throttle next to me, and I couldn't say no.

Yeah, I noticed the same smell when I WOT. I just assumed it was exhaust smell because NPP was open.

You didn't see cat material or white(ish) residue inside the tailpipes, right?

That smell is the smell of the cats. Completely normal.
