Burning Smell

So I'm going to explain this as best I can. I have an 01 cls supercharged...the works. Many of you may know it, the previous owner was SeattleCl-s (Tom).

When I punch the throttle to get up to speed I always smell this burnig smell then it goes away. It has been doing it for a while with nothing bad happening to the car. Since nothing seemed to be going wrong I left it alone thinking it could be normal? But, it is getting really annoying so I want to know why it is doing it. If any of you have an idea of what it could be I would love the help and or input.

Thanks,

Justin

ps: I know thats a really lame explanation, but I'm really mechanically stupid so its hard for me to explain it in great detail.

You must live close to Auburn. I can take a look at your car. I live in Federal Way right now so when ever you have time.

You might have seen my Green CL around but never gave it much thought.

PM me if you want.
