Engine Movement

[AusA8]

Once I fitted the intake manifold links a few weeks back, I filmed the start up and engine revs etc to see how they worked.

(See here for a full explanation on the variable intake system and what happened to my linkages -> http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthrea...6047#post36047)

After watching it a few times, I realised that the engine does not 'torque' or twist on start up or revving, no matter how hard she revs. That is, it doesn't move at all!

So, a dumb but simple question, what does your car do on start up and revving? Does it kick, twist, move at all?

For reference - 2003 4.2 V8 petrol.

I know that our cars have special torque and engine mounts and I'm learning about them ATM.
