its a 1999 sls northstar with dual exhuast. There is white smoke coming from both exhuast pipes, what does that mean? Its smells like fuel is burning. Also when I turn on the car it shakes or wobbles a little.

If you have a little misfire at start that diminishes in a matter of seconds, and you have some white smoke. You could have an internal coolant leak. Are you adding coolant? If you had a large amount of raw fuel leaking into the engine, say by a stuck open injector, it would run poor all the time, and also have white smoke.
