Glad to hear this is normal!

I bought a used, well modified C5Z and this concerned me a little. I just clutch in when I shut her off and problem solved.

might be the heat shielding on top of the cats if you have them still. Both of mine were completely detached and I had to drop the mid pipe to remove them

Corvette c5 clutch out when turning engine off

I just got an 1999 C5 with 23K miles a month ago, a week ago I noticed that some times the same noise that you are describing happens to my car, I thought that the issue was related to a damaged Clutch Actuator, I am happy to hear that this is normal in C5's so I am relived, I really did not want to take the clutch out to inspect, this post just saved me hours and hours of work for an unnecessary inspection, I just want to Thank you all of you.
