Power has a smell. In my learning experiences with road tuning etc I have noticed that various AFR zones have different smells.

Stoich smells like dish soap.
Over 15.5 smells like soap too but as you go higher it starts to smell more like fuel
Less than 11:1 smells like gasoline
POWER or 11.5-12.5 smells sooty. Kind of like charcoal.

I LOVE the smell of power.

I know this is nothing new but has anyone else noticed the smell of power?

 

e85 = best smell evar

 

My scent of performance smells like burning oil with a hint of 93 octane vapor.

 

110 octane is the bestest smell evar!

 

Using scented fuel additives = anything you want it to be. I prefer blueberry...because it smells like ******* blueberry muffins and will make everyone around your car hungry. It's a good way to distract anyone behind you...esp. on the track. It's like they're behind you and then smell fresh baked muffins and start thinking about food instead of driving.

 

And biodiesel smells like french fries!

I thought you were just full of **** until I googled "scented fuel additives".

eeeehhhh alcohol is better.

Another smell usually common in a high power miata is the smell of **** and puke

 

Turbo cars make a particular smell, I think its all the plastic/rubber in the engine bay making smells because theyre getting retarded hot. Its probably the smell of crankcase ventilation as well.

 

Erhhhh that's not the good smell. :(

 

PSYOPS applied to racing. I can dig it.

 

My car smells like butterscotch, yo.

PEEL OUT PINA COLADA?!?! Dude.

 

Its pretty easy to tell if a street car has a cat or not by the smell.

 

I am going to overload my friends truck with banana. This is going to be great.

 

Yes, it reeks of awesomeness. If only Axe could bottle THAT up.

 

I like them new, not like you.

 

The first time I encountered a biodiesel car, I asked the question who brought McDonalds!

 

I love pulling an old engine and smelling like old *** burnt nasty oil. I always punish my unit before I go wash my hands.
