Default PROBLEM, IS IT SERIOUS?

i NOTICED THAT WHEN I REV MY 2000 TRANS AM A4 WHICH IS BONE STOCK WHILE IT IS IN PARK AND OR NEUTRAL THAT THE CAR SHAKES AND VIBRATES IT SOUNDS VERY STRANGE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR DOES THIS CAR HAVE A REV LIMITER MAYBE?

It is not a good practice to rev up an engine without a load. All newer cars have a rev limiter to keep things from blowing up, some even have an additional lower limiter for when the transmission is in neutral.

Pete's right. Why exactly are You revving it in neutral anyway?
