I'm surprised we haven't heard from the "Chevy designed it to shake because that's what Corvette owners want" crowd.

It's hard to tell how rough it's idling from where I'm sitting, but perhaps you could go to a cars & coffee or Corvette club and see what someone who owns what says about your car's idle. I see no reason to insult you for asking though, and I didn't fine that post funny, but your comeback is priceless!!
Welcome to the forum, I guess. Hope it's something minor. Mine (C7) does not idle perfectly smoothly, but it's not shaking the whole car like some V8's if owned that had 'big' cams in them

Ever since the C5 there has been a slight rough idle from the engine. It is normal and nothing to worry about. Now if it seems excessive, take it in for a diagnostic check.
