Smooth idle is beneficial if you have a automatic transmission.
But you can have good idle quality and ground pounding rumble, harmonics and sound. These things, are not mutually exclusive.
Bad idle quality is not a inherent part of the American V8. It is more a sign of inadequate tuning technologies / abilities.
