I know "What does hot smell like?" The car is an '06 C4 with 24K miles. I just purchased it and started using it. I am a bit surprised that the car has a "something is hot" smell after even a ten minute trip around my neighborhood speeds under 40. Yo now what I mean by a hot smell. Something is at a high temp and off gassing. Maybe brake pads, clutch, oil on a header, slight smell. I went around and touched all of the rotors so it's not a dragging pad and there is no evidence of oil.

I have always had older 911's and this was the norm, oil return tubes over heat exchangers pretty much guaranteed this.
But I didn't expect a modern water cooled one to have this? What should I check or are they just trying to keep the nostalgia thing going by doing this on purpose, or it was an option that was purchased "controlled oil leak onto header for race smell).
