agree about the video. you might want to do that. semantics are funny like that. my "shakes alittle" could be different then your "shakes alittle" though i will say when i first bought my LS1 i was very surprised to see how much the engine shook. so who knows.

Well al I can say is that when i have my LT1 camaro, it shook pretty good at idle. I loved it when people would ride in my car and see their head bobbin a little bit. Now that I have me LS1, it shakes 10x more! I love it. To me, its not a muscle car unless it shakes.

Mine shakes like a virgin on a date with Ron Jeremy!
seriously though, an I6 is naturally balanced in motion, a V8 is not. A V8 will "quivver" a bit compared to I6's and V12's (both of which are naturally balanced in motion).

Yes, I asked about it before, its normal, car kinda "shudders" ever 5-10 seconds.
