Drive Train Noise
Having just started to drive my new C6 with M6. When I pull away just as the clutch becomes fully engaged I hear what soounds like a slight drive shaft rattle. Is this normal?
Also at about 2200 RPM during very gradual acceleration I get a little top end valve noise in the engine. It almost sounds like a solid lifter engine at that point??
Am I paranoid or what?

The noise like an old solid lifter engine is not normal. Maybe they put an old 327/365 hp engine in? I mean you can hear the valve train a little but it should not be very loud.
