Default After engine start

Has anyone had this issue or problem? Just after engine start there is a surge or thump as if the transmission was put in gear. Even though it has not been put in gear can be felt and heard. The Corvette is a 2019 stingray with 8 speed automatic.

Nothing like that with my 2019 Stingray with the A8. Might want the dealer to check it out.

Could be the exhaust hitting something if it's not secured properly. I've had the rear of the car gutted for a and you'll hear some strange things but never had one like you've described

Thanks for the responses I can say for sure it is not the exhaust. This surge and thump is in the drive-train as it feels just like if you put your trans in gear with your RPM's higher then normal.
