Ok so this may be a dumb question but please dont jump all over me 2 bad (or else jk.) But im a new Camaro Owner and still getting to know my car. Since i got her iv noticed at red lights when im sitting there it feels like it wants to dance. In other words it shakes a little. It somewhat feels like its from the front of the car but the entire car shakes. It also isnt always the same strength in shaking. Today it decided to really get going and even my GF looked at me and was able to notice (all cars are the same to her ) and then at the next light it didnt shake at all. So its not consistent in doing so or strength. Its a L99 if that makes any difference at all and it has a CAI and muffler delete but no other known mods (bought it used).
Sorry for the length i just wanted to cover everything since this is somewhat hard to describe. Thanks for the help guys since my dad passed C5 is my go to for learning anything about how cars work.
-Thanks Nick

These cars do shake a little at lights. Possible a bad sensor causing it to have a rough idle? Not sure. If its under warranty take it in to a trusted dealer, key word "trusted".

I have an L99 and it does the same thing so don't worry about it. These engines aren't the smoothest running machines. They dance at lights, make strange noises, click, pop etc. If you don't have a check engine light just enjoy it. I personally like it. Just wait till you put a cam in it and it will really dance.

Rough idle would be covered in the 5 year/100k mile powertrain warranty.

No, but if you feel that it's excessive and you want to take it to the dealer you wouldn't have to worry about warranty.

Alright thanks for the advice. i dont think its excessive just a new feeling. my old Eclipse with 150 HP or w/e it had didnt do anything (that includes going fast) so its new. Might take it in b.f i do my mods just so i have a excuse for them to check everything b.f i say good bye to that warranty for good

Hello walky35,

CHMSC made a great suggestion. A dealer will be able to check if this Camaro actually has an issue or is "dancing" perfectly fine and operating in spec. I would be happy to help set you up for a visit if you like. I would need some information from which you can private message me. Let me know, here to help.
