Burning smell and road noise

So, i've had my ZLE for nearly a week and just hit 100 miles. I noticed the first day i picked it up that the road noise is definitely more audible than the GT350 and there is a burning smell (smells like maybe brakes or clutch). I figure the road noise is from the tires and and the burning smell is just everything "wearing in". Thought id see if anyone noticed the same when they first picked their Z up?

most new cars burn off labels and such that make a bit of a stink, especially if you garage it, likely nothing to worry about there.

I just went through this...give it to 200 miles and the stench will go away. I'm at 306 now and trying to get to 500 for the first oil change.

Any new exhaust can cause a smell as well.
