Your catalytic converter didn't have enough time to heat up. That's the smell you smelled.
Should be nothing.

I have a remote start and I always let me car warm up for 1-2mins.

It's not up to temp but I'm not pulling it out of the driveway cool that way.

Could be your clutch slipping as well, if you have a MT.

so what u were ripping ur car when it said the engine was still cold?

not the best of ideas, you may want those piston rings to expand. Combustion is crap when motor is cold. that's why high revs are hurt and low end is instant.. mad tq and no hp... = cold motor lol and bad emissions.

But it could be cat related or the fuel you put in may contain lots of sulfur.

If the car was warm I'd say your cat is getting clogged, or there's a tiny exhaust leak somewhere closer to the engine.
