No, I don't on my '04 Z16. Have your recently done any work on the air intake system? Have you checked for codes on the DIC?
Sometimes the rough idle might indicate a vacuum leak on the air intake or a dirty MAF which can be cleaned with an aerosol MAF specific cleaner.

Chased mine for a week before I found a vacuum hose leak at the PCV valve. Buy some carb cleaner and check all the obvious places.

I've had it checked 4 times for codes-- Chev says it's normal--but it's not- sometimes it feels like someone is rocking the car side to side J

First guess would be you might have a cam you odnt know about?

If it just started all the sudden and you have no codes i start looking for a vacuum leak, and clean your MAF

You could have a tuner local to you read your tune thats in the car now to see if anything has been changed.

I have noticed on mine at times. not frequent enough for me to worry about.like maybe 1 out of 10 use factor.
Feels like a mild cam. Also never any codes. I was told like you by GM it was a normal trait of the LS6

I have a 2016 z-06 with a rough idle. Gonna have it checked to see if the computer can pick up a misfire. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be rough or not.
