Sounds like you may have a fouled or semi-fouled plug . Change them with NGK Part # 4306 and gap them at .035 ...

If the plugs are fouled this should be the problem and cure it ...

It could also be nothing. Due to the low compression and injectors, the srt does not have a smooth idle by nature. However, if the vibrations are anonoying its possible you have a problem.

dont know if you bought it new or used but if you bought it used do you have a modded ignition. cause when i did coil and wires it melted my stock plugs i went to a heat range colder ngk iridiums. but dont go crazy with thinkin there is a issue cause just like cali said the srt isnt natrually a smooth idler.

the coil itself might be bad too. when i bought my car with 2500 miles on it from jerry ulm used the person before me put a aftermarket coil on the car. well needless to say on the way home it went bad and sounded like your problem. just take the car to the dealership and let them firgue it out. thats what a warranty is for.

The tech's have been turning in some plugs with nasty carbon tracks from PT turbo's.
