Engine buzz felt in pedals and floor board

Hey All,

Does anyone notice that when you have the engine above 3k rpms at one speed, you can feel the buzz of the engine through the brake and gas pedals? I drive on the highway everyday with a 5spd, and noticed that at 70 mph or more, if you just lightly put your foot on the gas pedal, it vibrates like crazy. More of a buzz than a vibration....... Also at higher speeds you can even feel it through the floor board. Feels cheap and wanted to see if you all notice the same, or if I need to look into possible loose motor mounts or something...

also, rest your foot lightly on the brake while stopped and run the windshield wipers. You can feel them pulse through the pedal too, hahaha!

Even at a stop with left foot on brake and right foot on gas to at least 3k rpms, the brake pedal will buzz/vibrate quite a bit. You definitely feel the engine a lot.

You own an AWD race car. Totally normal and expected. These cars have a very noisey drivetrain. If you feel a serious vibration it may be your wheels are out of balance
