Default Z06 engine rattle

My LS6 makes a bit of rattling sound when I shut it off. It fires right up, runs like a scalded cat, and has no other problems. It's got 30k on it. Just wondering if that's normal, and I should find something else to obsess over.

Yup, find something else to obsess over. If it bugs you, hold the clutch in while you turn off the motor.
