My Audi doesn't, but the Vette does...Then again, there is about a 250 HP difference in the two!!!

Mine shakes a bit especially at idle in neutral.
Settles down in gear and after I push in on thealong loud pedal.
Tis the nature of the beast.

Yes its normal. There is a firebreathing V8 under the hood. I hear the Honda Accord idles really smooth.

On startup and shutdown there is the shake. 350 horses from 5.7 liters will do that to a 3000 lb car

Welcome to the wonderful world of V8's.
I love that little tremble when I shut off my car.
