So I just bought a 2011 G37x sedan with 76k miles. And So far I love it. Until after a couple days, I was getting on it and driving like an *** around my neighborhood. But when I got back into my driveway, I smelled burning rubber. But wasn't burning any rubber lol. So I quickly assumed, **** I just bought a car with a bad trans. But it drives and shifts fine. But with me flooring it, the trans gets hotter and can slip easier. But I was doing some research on a lot of people having a burnt smell or burning rubber smell after driving their car, especially driving hard. So did I most likely **** myself in buying this car or do I have some hope? I assume most of you have a lot of knowledge on problems like this?

Welcome to the site!
Dealers often put rubber dressing on the hoses, etc in the engine bay to shine them up prior to sale, during a hot run these can smell as you describe. Also residue on the exhaust can smell like that during a hard run. If it drives fine I wouldn't be too concerned although if the transmission is truly slipping that's not normal.
I would also see if your G has the most current transmission updates applied.
