New Owner
Hello to all. I am a new Corvette GS Convertible owner and look forward to talking with everyone as needed.
I do have a question that no one at the dealer seems to be able to answer. My driveway is somewhat inclined and whenever I pull into the driveway I hear a "POP" noise which sounds like it is coming from the back frame area like maybe a stress sound. It also occurs when making 45 degrees street turns in the neighboorhood. Has anyone experienced this sound before? Any help will be appreciated.

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on your new GS!! Enjoy the car and the Forums.
For any questions about your new Vette just head over to C6 General:

I don't have an answer for you at the moment, your description is a little vague. When you ask in C6 General try to provide more detail, or at least as much as you can. Diagnosing noises is difficult at best unless it's something seen before. But, we can probably figure out something for you.

Great choice of a Corvette. Enjoy it.
As far as the popping sound, you'll need a helper to get down on hands and knees while you pull in.
Good Luck!
