Do you know if it's got uprated engine mounts?

Warm the engine up, short out terminals TE1 and E1 in the diagnostic port and adjust the idle screw on top of the throttle body until the RPM sit's at approx 800rpm. The idle speed should increase slightly when you remove the short from TE1 and E1.

If the idle doesn't feel any better it would be worth getting the ignition timing checked, timing should be set at 10° with terminals TE1 and E1 shorted.
