Default Drivetrain question

Just got a Z06, 02 65k miles.

Anybody else have lots of drivetrain whine? I get lots driving around town, and on the freeway especially.

I was doing some spirited driving last night, went into 4th and something was just singin away.... The tranny I think. Maybe it needs a fluid change? What y'all think?

Probably the diff. Know when's the last time either the tranny or diff had their fluids replaced? If not, replace them both, and be sure to do the proper diff fluid break-in procedure (8-10 slow figure eights) as soon as possible afterward.
