My guess is that the EGR valve is passing too much oil to the intake on hard acceleration and we're smelling the resultant burn. I was looking for a place to mount one to see if it helps, but there's no room in the stock engine bay.

Thank you glw!
BEST THEORY so far because it would explain the right type of smell.
I don't understand your last sentence though.
If the Z comes with an Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve, how can there NOT be room for it? Are you referring to a larger aftermarket EGR possibly?
