2018 C7 Backfire Issue
When my 2018 Corvette is in sport mode with open exhaust, under full throttle, it backfires when it shifts from 1st to 2nd The dealership said this is a common problem with the C7 and showed me a printout of the issue. Does anyone else have the issue or know if there is a fix?

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your C7!
I would suggest you will probably have a better response posting this question directly in the C7 Tech section of the forum at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...rformance-169/.
Hopefully this is nothing significant.

The dealership said it's a common problem and showed you a printout ??? Uhhh what........ ?? It's not a "problem" at all. It's completely normal and exactly what it's designed to do.
