Default vibration

the vibration isn't that bad in 1st gear acceleration but when in 2nd and up, I'll take it to redline you can feel the car vibrate. the higher the rpm the more and louder the vibration is . when i take my foot of the gas it stops vibrating. when i rev it it doesn't do it. it seems to increase the more i step on the gas pedal. i figure it's not the motor cause it would do it when i rev it. i figure it can't be the suspension cause once i take my foot off the pedal it stops. I'm not getting any check engine lights or bad acceleration like sputtering when driving it.
Has anyone here have this problem? I heard it's the CV housing.

a CV joint is in the final driveline and I would think be more related to actual speed than the rev's of the engine.

i'm going to check the tire pressure at work today. i wish it would just stop freaking snowing, raining.
if it was the wheel balance wouldn't it always vibrate? same with the tire pressure. it only vibrates when on the gas.

Do you notice this more when turning than going in a straight line?
