does your g get hot?
After driving for an extended period I can feel the engine bay heat around my feet at the pedals. It is pretty normal for a car like this...especially when you are closer to the engine 
While the heat in the engine-bay is normal, as well as some radiant heat making it's way through the firewall and into the footwells...
...it still seems like hot air is being dumped down there from the A/C ducts. The sensation increases with speed. That's not just radiant heat. It's being forced in, and it can't be through the firewall.

With Crawford Headers and the S/C (and the fact that's it's always 100 degrees in Florida) I think I have you all beat for the 'under the hood' high temps. 
It's so hot that running the A/C forces the fan to stay on and our cars make another 5rwhp on the dyno.

As long as the engine temp gauge is showing normal, then all is well.

was concerned because i've never owned a car that got this hot. then again i've never owned an engine that was larger than a 3.0.
when i first drove my car home, i noticed a smell of plastic burning. is this morning as well? could it be the fumes from the rubber burning off because it's new? the smell is still there but its fading away.

you will get that smell for the first 500 miles or so.

yes that is normal. It's your car cooling down.
As for the people having problems with their AC vents giving off heat, make sure your heater temperature is set low. If your heater temp is set to 90 degrees, hot air will come out, even if it isn't on. If you set it to 60 degrees, you'll notice cooler air come out, again even if it's not on.
