  Hey Scott07,
  
  You better have that car checked out by QUALIDIED mechanic/technician. Sounds to me like some electrical overcharge - can be fire hazard!
  
  If wiring somewhere burns through, you've had it! Fire will start, and if near fuel line, God bless you!

  But firstly,my car is new.SFW..Secondly,there is no smell if i drive far,and at normal speed. But if i high rev my car,let's say from jurong to toa payoh,the smell is damn smelly.
  
  So that's why i also dono the fault comes from where,so maybe u guys may know,any parts of the car,that might have produced this smell?

  Your clutch is being engaged unknowingly and unnecessarily. Causing wear and burn. Phew, smelly.

  my friend's nissan sunny also very smelly.. his is a manual car and also running mineral oil..
  that smell maybe because u are still on mineral oil..
  
  my new car also got that smell regardless high rev or not.. can smell it when i off engine.. my bro's SFQ plate still on mineral oil also have that smell..
  
  my information may not be accurate... im just assuming because so far the cars i driven using mineral oil still has that smell..
  
  im waiting to change mine to full synthtic in about 7000km... den analyse again from there..

  Ive not drive to genting b4 ... hahaha ... but all i know from friends who went b4 told me that it is better to use a manual car to go up and use engine brake while coming down ... dont drag the brakes and things like this ... For me (never drive up b4) i think a manual is better then auto ... maybe those who drove up b4 can give you better suggestions

  check these;
  
  if new car, will have smell of new rubbers being heated up, and should not be very bad smell. after a while it should be gone.
  
  check if the smell comes from brakes. if u notice any particular wheel smelling bad and being too hot even to touch, check that brake pistons. they're jammed.
  
  check the clutch clearance. if its sliding, will burn ur clutch plate. (for manual)
  
  check if the smell seems a bit like rotten egg, its over-charging your battery. maybe rectifier faulty, or electrical probs. better solve immediately.
  
  if too much smelling of exhaust, then check ECU mapping as tunning might b giving too much petrol.
  
  thats pretty much of the most possible smell come out from car. of coz there cud b other possibilities like wire burning, some plastics parts touching exhaust assembly, etc. so whats your smell? check out....

  2 things, either;
  
  a) ur clutch (burning under load) and/or,
  b) ur engine oil (overspill into ur cylinder head and getting combusted).
  
  rev ur engine so high for wat? racing ah?
