I've noticed it as well. I think it's due to the high compression characteristics. Once you remove the spark, the inertial momentum of the pistons/crankshaft/camshaft suddenly are forced to slow down in sharp steps compared to the typical family sedan with 8.5/1 compression. I would further to add that owners with lighter flywheels will experience an even more pornounced effect of what you've described.

 

i get this too and im at almost 11k... I agree its normal

Nah....it would be like me pinch hitting for Barry Bonds. I'm still in deference to you. You da man.

 

one way to know for sure:

go to a group meet, leave your car running and have a long-time owner shut down your motor while another couple stand around. if they think it's weird, it's weird. if not, enjoy your new baby.

ah the benefits of being part of the s2ki community...
