Hi all!
My name is Shiwang. I just bought a new silver C7 Z51 2LT .
I first saw a Corvette 29 years ago when I was in New York. My neighbor had a beautiful light blue Corvette. It was so attractive! Corvette became my dream car since then. After so many years, I finally bought one. It is the only vette in my company’s parking lot, which has about 50-60 cars. The story I told my colleagues is that I figured that I can either buy one now, or save and invest the money and buy a wheelchair accessible vette later when I am very old, so I decided to buy one now.
I love the vette but it has a problem. When accelerating, typically driving up a hill, at the speed of 1600 rpm or so, there is a bird-chirping-like sound from the rear. The car is under the new car warranty but the engineer in the dealership has not been able to figure out the problem yet. Thanks for any advice.

Congrats on the C7, but you'll get more advice in the C7 Tech/Performance area.
