I dont know about the smell ,I would check for leaks at the rear and at the wheels you might have an axel seal leaking on to your brakes or the input shaft of the rear might be leaking and driping on the exhaust justt enough for you to smell it.. I would check it out before driveing it any more...
and as far as your dash shaking while trying to do a burn out ,it sounds like you getting wheel hop now that they both are hooking up and yes you can hurt your car doing this the best way to get it in line is to start upgradeing your rear suspension...I have had this before in a few of my cars had to change over to polyurathane bushing and stiffer lower control arms to solve the problem..but it was worth it... good luck and hope this helps..
