Mine has done it once. It freaked me out at first. Where you revving it when you turned it off? A friend wanted to hear the stock exhaust and so I revved it 5k and when the rpm came down to probably 2k or so I turned it off and they did it. This was probably 6 months ago though.

Normal. Car does it pretty much every time you turn it off, if you stare at it long enough.

Mine does it sometimes too. But I dont' think it messes me up too badly, so I don't mind.
