Is it only when you are up to 90mph or all the time? If it's a really new car with really low milage it could be just manufacturing residue on the inside of the exhaust burning off... but that'd normally burn off after about 30 miles or so. I'd say bring it to Honda and see what they say.

1. No - Shouldn't "speed in" the car.. Are you someplace where you can do 90 safely for yourself and others?
2. Yes - The smell is telling you to slow down..
3. Yes - could and most likely be just burning off new car residue
4. Yes - might be a good idea to have the service department look at it if it continues
5. No - do not want to overly advertise you are taking it to 90+.. But, your call..
6. Yes - Slow down.

Teasing - maybe - be careful out there...
