Weird Sound

does anyone notice a ticking sound after they turn their car off? I took it to the service dept this AM but they said it was just the fuel injectors making that sound because the car is supercharged?

If that's the explanation they gave you, then if I were you I wouldn't trust them working on my car anymore...

That ticking sound is just your catalytic converter cooling off. Every car I've owned made that same sound, just not to the extent that my SS/SC does. I think it's because Chevy put a decent high performance cat on the SS/SC, it heats up more and makes more noise than other factory equipped cars. Nothing to worry about, been talked about in other threads and everyone with the SS/SC noticed it too.
