smell of gas inside car after WOT run. Ok, I have a 2002 z28 and this afternoon i did a WOT run thru first and second gear, and the car wouldn't shift at around 6K it would shift at like 4K. After this run i noticed immediately a strong odor of gas inside the car. After i got out of my car i noticed also a almost rotten smell.. like rotten eggs. What can cause this? I also cant even bark the tires from a stop with traction control off. What is wrong here?
Thanks.
Thanks.

rotten egg's mean's its the cats.
when you went wot it probly blew the inside of the cat to pieces.
there probly cloged that explains the loss in power.
depending on how many miles your car has they might have warranty from gm.
