Only if it hasnt been ballanced. 
Im pretty sure mine was ballanced. At my last autox I was staged to run
when, for whatever reason, the flagman holds the green flag on my
windshield and counts down 5-4-3. So I hold my foot to the floor
bounching it off the (6,700 rpms) rev limiter (ALA grand Tourismo mode)
and when he gets to "1" I dump the clutch and immediately smoke the
slicks I had mounted on all 4 corners. I was trying to get some heat into
the tires. <snicker>
But the whole time it was up there in the revs, it was smooth (As smooth
as can be with the rev limiter active.) and without vibration or,
"chatter". 

Get it ballanced and you will be fine.
