350z in general: engine/transmission vibration at high revs?

Hey folks,

I've a 350z HR late 08 car which is driving great, solid performance, virtually no oil consumption, I've sorted all the suspension and rattles, all good.

 

However when I ring out the engine a little (I'd say anything over 5k revs really), the sense of mechanical sympathy in me comes out, because it really starts to increase the unnatural 'vibration' I can feel from the engine, or transmission or something. I know that peak torque on these cars arrives just before 5k and so I guess there isn't massive point in taking it beyond that. But taking it into redline territory is not something that this engine seems to enjoy.

 

Question: is this a totally normal 350z experience, for an unmodified car (except for induction and backbox)? Or should I be looking closer at my engine mounts or transmission mounts or something?

 

cheers - hard problem to explain, but something just doesn't feel 100% 'right'
