Burning smell when accelerating!

My 99 GP GT runs very well with 90k miles but when I have to put the pedal to the floor I notice a burning smell and I can't figure out what it is, but it only happens under heavy acceleration. Any ideas?

One would guess , that under the hood , it's probably quite dirty. Leaky valve cover gaskets and such , hard acceleration , stuff starts burning off ....
 
Smell like rotten eggs or a nasty fart? If so cat if not may just be like what crazy said dirty motor getting hot and burning the crap on it
 


I smelled something burning after i would floor it, and it turned out to be a cat that was beginning to clog up.
 
Well i bought the car with 90k on it, it now has 93k idk how cats age year wise but I can tell its not the original cat so mileage wise I think that it would be OK.
