Welcome... where are you located?

Seeing you have one of the most awesome color/year combos I could possibly help ya.

I'm thinkin its the infamous "clutch decel buzz" you are talkin bout, but won't know for certain without more info.

Did you do a compression and leak down test before buying the car? If not, and you can tell the sound is not exhaust related, now would be a good time.
