Everytime I go WOT in my car, and when I reach about 75-80 mph, I smell burning rubber and my car doesn't burn its tires. Also, another thing that I noticed is that around 75-80 mph, my CD player starts to skip. Hmm, the disc itself doesn't skip at all just when I go WOT. Could this be my heater core that's bad? Thanks in advance...
 
It could be your clutch is starting to slip and can't handle the power your giving it.
 
check to see if your belts are slipping. If they start to slip at high RPMs, it'll burn the rubber on them and smell bad. If thats the problem, get that fixed ASAP cause if it breaks, the pistons will hit your valves and cost you a head rebuild.
