No not my rear end...PHEWT....:)

I took a friend for a ride yesterday to demo my 2017 Hellcats power. During a couple of spirited starts I noticed a noise from the rear when it seemed to get traction and shift a gear. It seemed to be a bang when the gears changed. Is this just the differential torquing once the wheel spin/ hop had stopped? Being new to the car I hadn’t heard this before. It was nothing to concerning, just something both of us noticed.

If you can hear a bang when your on it and engine is loud , somethings not right. Check it out. It might be the center bearing on the 2 piece drive shaft going, or a diff/cradle bushing that's shot. (Don't know how long you've owned it or miles or how hard it was driven before you got it) or just something on the rear suspension getting loose. Get it in the air and check it out.

Ive only had it 3 months. It has 5600 miles on it. It had been used as a pace car locally, was well maintained by the dealership sponsoring the car.
I’ll get under it this week to see if there’s anything obvious
