Ticking
Just purchased my first Corvette yesterday, 2026 Stingray. Today, I started to accelerate at a stop light in manual 3, tried to paddle shifted down to 1 and I think red lined the RPM. First concern. Second concern, later that day I turned off the radio and A/C to listen to how the engine sounded during driving and I noticed a soft ticking sound coming from the engine compartment. Could hear it thru the cabin. So now I’m worried I may have done something after I rev’d the engine down.
