The car runs rich to help the catalytic converter survive. The thing you smell is the excess fuel being burnt up inside.

Yeah it's normal because the rx-8 runs rich when you first start it. It's normal for all of them unless you get rid of the CAT(catalytic converter) which would make it smelll more like gas. There is no problem at ALL. Anyway Congrats on the car!
You picked the fastest color
