Weird metal sounds

After a normal drive until the engine is warmed, I parked and turned off the engine. Weird metal sounds coming from under the front end of the car. Sounds like its cooling or sum thing.

Metal expands when it gets hot and contracts as it cools. When metal contracts it makes clicking/pinging/popping sounds. This is normal. :)

It's not just Z...all vehicles make that sound.

Oooo. Okay. I didn't know it would be that loud. Cause my previous cars did have a few sounds but not like the sound from the z. Hope it's normal. Also, when I step on the clutch during 1st and 2nd gear, there are clattering sounds. Sometimes there isn't.
