When they ship the cars from Japan, a most companies coat them in paraffin to protect from corrosion. We used to have to drive them through a kerosene car wash. The leftover paraffin eventually burns off, and that also contributes to the smell.

when i first test drove a Z it only had a few miles on it withthat smell as we parked after thetest drive. Salesman said they spray some chemical over he engine bay that will burnoff after a few houndred miles so what Mike said sounds like the best reason for that smell.
