ok guys if i push my car hard and do some hard pulls i get this odd burnt rubber smell....not sure what it is but i cant find anything melted..also i had a really bad sputter under accel. and it was due to loose spark plugs so i fuxed that issue and it went for a ride yester day and it only sputterd under wot but it wasnt to bad it still make boost but it didnt seem to wanna go very fast hahha anyway im wondering if theres a problem or if it was because my gas light was on from low fuel LOL

any thoughts??
 
Your cv axles can hit your lower tranny mount support if your engine mounts are going bad. I tore a mount and the same thing happened to me. Or your tires might rub your wheel well a little
 
^ this. A slipping clutch when going wot will smell like you described. Make sure the disc is in good shape and rear main seal isn't leaking.
 
Clutch and rubber smell completely different, OP are you sure it's rubber smell? Have you smelt a burning clutch before?
