Default Wierd smell when I get on it?

I don't floor it or take it past 3k for that matter very often. But, when I do, I get this wierd smell... could be something burning or... I don't know... just a smell I can't describe. I've smelled it on cruises when the F-bods in front of me floor it off the line and keep on it... this normal? lol

if its the same smell I think it is, it smells like burnt gunpowder? Its actually not from getting on it, its from the brake pads when you slow down again....at least I'm pretty sure. Had it in a number of cars I've driven

If it smells sweet its coolant.
If it smells like sulfur or rotten eggs then its cats.
It it smells like gas, or excess fuel in the exhaust, then someone is running rich
...... there are many many smells...... describe it your best
