Default Strange smell

Hey guys, gotta question...

My friend was behind me today, and we were horsing around in the streets. Anyways, he said when i wound my car up in the higher RPM's (keep in mind i have a auto tanny) he would smell something like a clutch burning..I was just wondering if any of you had any idea what this could be? He said it smelled like metal? Keep in mind , my friend really has no automotive knowledge , so his info could be off..anyways, if you could , let me know what this "smell" could be. if its anything to worry about. Thanks...
