Just got back from a small ride and parked the c7 and I could hear a sizzling sound. Looks like liquid, potentially water, was falling onto the chassis that was hot. Has any one else seen or heard this?

Likely just A/C condensation dripping from the drain tube onto the exhaust. It was common on the C6.

Driving in a warm climate? If so, I'd agree with RicK T.

I had the HR department call to tell me that an employee was concerned about the sizing sound coming from the Corvette in the parking lot. I had to explain the condensation dripping.

Appreciate the quick response. It will help me sleep better tonight! Thinking about it, I live near New Orleans and today was the first time I had the ac on for a period.... Yes it even froze down here.

I drove the car pretty hard one day and had the sizzling liquid sound as well. Normal
