Transmission problem?
My engine and traction warning lights turned on tonight while I was driving home from work and noticed that from after making a complete stop and accelerating to around 10 mph my car pops from the rear end of the car.
It continues once more as I go 20mph and does the hard pop again. My engine is a LS2 and the year of the corvette is 2005. Does anyone know if it can be a transmission problem? Or maybe something else?

Description is too vague. What pops? Is it a mechanical pop, exhaust pop, suspension pop, etc?
Suggest you stop at one of the major auto parts stores, like Autozone, etc, and get the OBD2 codes read. They do it for free. Then post back with more info. Good luck.

Found the problem! It was a bad spark plug problem and the oil was shot and was really old. Bought from a dealership that must've never changed the oil while the car was sitting there in the lot.. the sensors was also not working correctly and it felt like the exhaust pop, but makes more sense that it could've been the motor popping because of the spark plug problem. Considering it was more of every time my car changed gears at a certain speeds and feeling the car vibrate more from its backside rather than up front where the motor was.
