imaging buying a dozen eggs on a hot day and by the time you're home from the supermarket, all the eggs have hatched from the heat?

Door locks

lol...

your flat spot...hummmm... was your tire psi low while at the dealer?
regardless, you shouldn't get ANY vibrations at speed. if it was low
maybe your dealer can give you a deal on new tires.

I'm not sure, I think they are the S0001's but I'd have to look.

It's not tramlining (no more than any Z would), the highway can be smooth with no cracks or anything and at 50 mph the steering feels pretty normal but at 70 it's very light - like the opposite of what the speed sensitive steering should do.

So the steering gets very light, and you have to keep aiming the car back toward straight. Then, if you're turning, say on an off-ramp or whatever at 70 mph, the wheel gets heavier after about the first 1" of travel.

I'm convinced the alignment is out. As for the flat spots the car had 6 miles on it when I test drove it, it had just been sitting for a long time. It seems like that should have corrected itself by now.

Seems I may be getting an alignment and 1 or 2 new tires. We'll see.

sounds like a plan!

GL with the alignment and also seeing if you can get new tires.
