Reared Clunk
Not me. The car. I've had my A8 non-Z51 for a week. After the break-in period I nailed the throttle from a stop. When the car shifted to 2nd there was a loud clung in the rear end. I did it again with the same result. Should I be concerned?

It could be the backfire caused by momentary ignition interruption during full throttle acceleration on automatic cars to reduce peak torque load on the transmission. The resultant unburned fuel them makes a brief popping sound when shifting.
It is designed that way.

Yes, since it's a Corvette with its never ending problems.
