You should still be under warranty, so you may want to consider going to a different Chevy dealership if you can find one that has a competent Corvette tech working there. I would hate to think you'll have to pay for any repair on your car if you don't have to.

Many thanks for taking the time and trouble of replying.
The symptoms: Following EVERY first start of the day, I idle the engine for 60 seconds before slowly backing out of my garage onto the drive, then onto the street. As the rear wheels enter the street, I turn the steering wheel sharply right to angle the car to protect the air dam as the front wheels traverse the culvert between the drive and street. Once the front wheels enter the street, I straighten the steering wheel, come to a complete stop, engage 1st gear before moving forward down the street. Within 1-5 seconds of initially moving forward, I hear a single muffled, metallic clang or clunk coming from below (cannot determine if from front or rear). I feel nothing in through the steering wheel; no messages appear on the DIC.
On occasion, the noise can be reproduced if the car sits outside in a parking lot for 30 minutes or more and is backed out of a space. The noise appears as I described above.
