Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have a 2008 997.1 4S. It's my DD and I drive 104 miles per day for work. When I get home from work and pull in the garage, there is always a slight burning smell. Well, today I was driving home and stopped, turned off the PSM and wanted to see if I could leave some black marks on the pavement and get a quick rush of 0-60!!
When I finally leveled out and got back within the speed limit, the smell of burned rubber was THICK in the car. I never heard a squeal or a saw a black mark. But DAMN the smell. It was still thick 6 miles later when I got home and I rode with the windows down. Any idea what was causing the smell?
Thanks Pelicans!
The rear tires are right next to the exhaust pipes. You’re smelling hot rubber. It’s common, especially given how tight everything is packed in back there.
Not so sure it's normal for a car that had an original list price of $80k!! If you're smelling rubber then you might have a hose contacting the engine or exhaust. I think you want to look and see. Wouldn't want to have a coolant hose burn through and leak out your coolant. Overheating can crack the head and now you're in for some major engine work. Get it looked at by a proper shop that services Porsche and don't be cheap about it. These cars can be expensive to fix when small items are neglected.
