Drips coming from the back of the mufflers
I will start this with a shameless plug. I spent the majority of Saturday washing, claybar-ing, and detailing my ZL1 at my new house in prep for the upcoming holiday weekend.
20140628_160736 by knowitman, on Flickr 20140628_160927 by knowitman, on Flickr I drove the car a bit over 200 miles on Saturday back to my parents house. I currently reside at my parents' until I fully transfer positions within my company. This afternoon after work I decided to back the car out of the garage to work on the interior. After nearly finishing the interior I noticed that there were two black carbon spots on the pavement in the garage which would have been located under the car. When I looked under the car I noticed that I have black carbon spots on the back ends of the mufflers. You will be able to see what I am talking about in the pictures. Has anyone else ever noticed this on their car or know where it is coming from? You can see what I am referring to below. 20140630_183417 by knowitman, on Flickr 20140630_183422 by knowitman, on Flickr

I'd say that is normal where the mufflers drain the water from the cannister. You did say you washed the car and some water from the tailpipe made its way back there.

There are weep holes back there, allows the water from the cats to drain.

normal...all mufflers have weep holes for condensation to escape. In the case of the ZL1, the water will be black...just look at the exhaust outlets.

Those are ZL1 tears. Your poor taste in beer (Sam Adams) makes her cry....

Most of the beer I drink is homebrew. I just use the bottles. I will make sure to remove the labels next time so it won't cry. What does my ZL1 think of Bourbon served neat? Not before or during driving it of course.
