Okay, I'm not sure if I screwed up my car or not, but I never noticed my car doing this before. Let me start at the begining. Last week I was doing some drag racing (at the track) and was doing some really good launches with my car. At the the end of the day I noticed a burning smell, like the clutch or could have been a rubber smell, like the Serantine Belt. Definately was not the tires.
This week while driving, I noticed when I am accelerating and want to merge or get more pick up by punching the gas, the car engine seems to rev high before I feel any pick up. It's like a few seconds of a delay. W.T.F. Is it possible that my clutch is going or slipping? How can someone tell if it is slipping. Car was already in gear when this happened and the clutch was not pressed at all. Could it be that I streched the Belt or burnt a flat spot onto it? It feels as if the belt is slipping more than anything, but I'm not sure if that is possible because our Boxsters have the Belt Pulley Tensioner. It almost feels like the cars fuel injection is off a bit with the cars pick up, i.e. acceleration. Could I have screwed up the timing? No check engine lights have come on. I'm having the belt replaced next week as part of it's regular maintenance and hope this will fix the problem, but I am not sure. It's also speratic, and some times does not do it at all. Now I'm worried.
