Rough engine shut off, normal?
Is a "rough" engine shutdown normal for a 2003 Z06? (See Video) I had a 2002 auto 2 yrs ago and don't remember this when I turned the car off. BTW, I just bought it and with the hood and doors closed its not really noticeable except for a slight shake of the car. I hope I didn't buy a lemon! Thanks for any help y'all can give me and sorry if it's a newb question.

Hold the clutch in while you shut the car off and it won't do that. What you're experiencing is some backlash from the torque tube that is transmitted through the drivetrain when the clutch is engaged and the engine shut down.
