On a 02 Alero Why would the front end shake badly Just Hammers when you accelerate rapidly?

[Edit]

Answer

If you bought this car used, there is a chance it could have a broken motor mount, this would cause the engine to shake very badly as one side of the motor would be rising up, as the other side is trying to hold it down. Under smooth acceleration, a broken motor mount is not very noticeable. Try this,with your foot on the brake, start the car, put the car in reverse, does it clunk?, put the car into neutral, then put the car into drive, any clunking? If so, i would take a close look at the motor mounts.
