Hey guys quick question. Is it normal when idling and you rev the engine to feel the car shake a bit? Has anyone noticed that in their car? Not sure if the engine mounts were already worn out or something

Maybe you are feeling the torque response. Is it a shake or more like the car is twisting on the longitudinal axis?

I feel the front end shake while revving under low rpm then it's smooth as the revs get higher. Also i'm in neutral when i did that

Would someone mind when driving their car to rev it in neutral and let me know if they feel a shake (don't have to rev too high) and let me know what happens. I appreciate the help

Pretty sure you're experiencing the fun of a V8.
