Default Vibration?

I've been in 3 fbodies and in all 3 of them, if the car is in park.. at around 1500rpm the car has a noticeable "spinning" vibration that you can feel through the car, the vibration is synced with the engine sound.

Is this just how all fbodies are or am I finding wierd ones?

Completely different car but my friends Honda vibrates when the A/C is on. Could be something in the belt drive, bad engine mount, missfire although that should read a code. Aside from that I can't think of much based on my experience. Could just be gremlins too =P

It feels like something spinning towards the rear of the car. I don't think it's AC related. But in 3 out of 3 cars so far, lol.

Wouldn't that always be present? This is mostly noticable around 1500rpm (in park/neutral). I mean the cars drive fine (Left a strip of about 100 feet of rubber in one today) I'm just curious as to what might cause this, if they all come this way and no one noticed/cared and if it's normal.

Mind does the same thing. I just found the culprit. The stock exhaust is rattling. I tested it by putting it in park and letting it idle. Got out of the car and put my foot on the right exhaust tip. The sound went away! Made me feel ALOT better.
