Finally got a chance to let the L run tonight. A buddy of mine owns a way moded 97TA, and decided to give the L some action.Well, we line up... timing is perfect...no one on the road but me and him....light goes green! I floor it! 
And that is when It's over....
The L does not hook at all like I expected. It almost seemed like it hesitated for about what seemed like a second, by then I was almost a car length back. I don't know what happened
It has never done that to me before. I was not in o\d . Ac off. and no one but me in the truck. I had to concede the race. So He gives me another shot. This time not so lucky to catch the green light together so we wait till traffic is clear ahead of us. Then the 1.2.3. and were off.....this time I shoot like a bat out hell and I leave him like he was standing still
So when we finally pull over. My buddy says when we hit the second time, the L looked it came off the ground. Could not believe his eyes when the front end lifted. I think it just popped a little but not enough to leave the ground. Anyways, about this time the L is emitting a strong smell,like a burnt odor. I'm wondering if this could be something I should be concerned with. I've let the L run before..., a few times actually,and this has never happened before. Anyone out there with any ideas.? Any advice would be helpful. Temp outside was about 55 degrees, L has 6400 miles on it.., and oil was changed about 600 miles ago.The only thing done to her so far has been adding a k\n oil filter. Sorry this post was so long.
