My tire pressure was low when I got my car and it made a violently shook the car, I know you said the tires are new, but it's a thought.

Check your inner and outer tie rods. I had symptoms like what you described and it was my inner tie rods. I went ahead and replaced the rack and pinion because it was leaking. Rack and pinion with inner tie rods was $80.

Tire pressure is at 35lbs in each tire, that was the first thing I checked. Like I said Motor is 100% rebuilt balanced and blueprinted with new harmonic balancer, It revs and idles perfect with no shakes or vibrations. At 70 with the car in neutral it still shakes badly. U-Joints are new, I will check into the tie rod ends and the balancing of the driveshaft I like the sound of an alum shaft though. It may very well be worth $200.

I would get a polyurethane trans mount as well, cheap and gives a nice ride on the shifter ****
