Ive heard that all camaros with stock DS (steel) is unbalanced...Mine does the same thing about 85. They claim you can put an aluminum DS and it will eliminate it...Im trying to save up money and we shall see if it works...

tornando is the problem!

It must be the $80- tin foil. You know the piece of foil is very important to that engine. If you put it in wrong, that could cause the engine to possibly seize. hahaha will, you are the biggest numbnut ever! seriously a piece of foil causing car vibration? what planet r u from? o yeah planet cheryl lol anyway that would be caused by like wheel balancing, proper alignment and o yeah your drivetrain. I doubt your engine mounts would cause your car to vibrate past 80mph think about it. mounts are meant to absorb torque.. and no offense but after 4th gear, ur all horesepower, not torque... your 4th gear is probally like 1.2 to 1 if that.. I doubt that would cause vibrations at high speeds.. I recommend taking it to a shop not santillies since they anally rape you every time you go there. (gullable) good luck

Not justin,
