Default What would cause this smell ?

Ran a Vette this afternoon and when finished he mentioned that my car smelled like I spayed on him - (he was completely behind me); he went on to say the smell was pretty strong (no smoke). Anyway, I don't have nitrous and my car is actually a hair lean all the way thru the power band (13.2).....so it shouldn't be raw fuel.

Any guesses ?

'00 WS6 M6:
224/581/112 : Hooker headers : y-pipe with hi-flow cats : mildly ported 241 heads : SLP dual/dual with cut out (most bolt ons).....you get the picture.

Thanks for the responses....

I'm running a balanced Spec III with a lightweight flywheel and I am all too familiar as to what a slipping clutch smells like and I didn't smell that; I actually don't smell anything, thus my conclusion as to exhaust.

Hopefully, it's just the normal exhaust fumes.

I do like the response of "poo" though
