Huh?! Even a 1bbl 199 american with slush-o-matic bald tires and
9" drums should do 90, even if it's gotta work to get there, and
not vibrate noticably. My Hornet does 90+ easy with no vibration,
and my driveshaft is 1" too short. (I know, I'm an idiot.) My
disaster of a 59 American with *flathead* 196ci did 80 with the
pedal literally on the metal (I was an idiot -- 20 yrs old :-)
though it did not like that one bit thank you. Didn't vibrate
that I recall, or at least that wasn't a memorable part of the
otherwise unpleasant experience.

There are no intentionally built-in vibrations reachable through
(ab)normal circumstances.
