Yes. Ls2 also. There is a little wiggle from the engine every few seconds. It's normal and if anyone says theirs doesn't do it then they just haven't noticed it yet.

There have been a few other discussions about this here and the consensus seems to be that it is normal. My '13 GS idles around 550 - 600 rpms and is a little rough at times.
