    Odd smell after acceleration.

    Been off and on since i got the car. Though after some decent acceleration You can smell a scent that smells like the bleach that comes with hair dye. Car runs fine just wondering what this could be. has been since 25k miles on the car and now at 57k on the car. Any ideas?

    Not sure. service has been every 7-10k miles at the dealership. Doesn't really matter how fast I am going just pretty soon after a decent push that breaks 4k rpm. Then you get that smell and ac/heater is off. though if the heater is on then you don't smell it. Mainly smell it from the moonroof being slightly open seems it comes from outside and then enters the cabin.

    hmm, dislike the gf reference. As for the smell being cats... hmm I know the rotten egg smell but this is exactly hair dye bleach smell. I will ask/look around into it more to double check but if it is cats.. bah...
