Both my hemis shake when first start up. Hellcat always has car movement. It’s fine. Oil is thick until it’s at operating temp. OP didn’t give us any additional details, ambient temp, fuel in car, is car stock, how many miles. Would still like to see a pic
Car is stock, it was a cold start. Ambient was low 60s. Felt like it was out of balance, if that makes sense. Like a washing machine with all the clothes on one side....

Yep, both my hemis do that for a second or 2. How many miles? How bad was it? Would still like to see some pics of the car man

Kinda strange. Keep attentive. Maybe it was just a temporary injector stick or something.

Probably a blown motor I wouldnt worry about it lol J/K.....

Could be something as simple as some bad gas then the knock sensor picked it up and adjusted.... Happens. My Hawk doesnt seem all that happy at start-up either sometimes but after a minute its fine.

Now it cold starts fine. That was weird.
