Default Anyone else have problems at highspeeds?

It seems when I hit 80+ I feel that the back end of my car is gonna spin out... I'm scared to even push it past 100 due to the fact that I feel the car is going to lose control. I have a 2013 touring model.. anyone have an idea of what could cause it.. or is it just me?

I've never had that problem. I've gotten it up over 130 (safely not street racing or anything) and even then It felt stable. Or maybe I just thought it felt stable because my last car was an old mustang. I guess your car could be out of alignment.

Haha I'm not sure then, I just edited my last post before you replied, but maybe it's an alignment issue. I would think you would notice that at lower speeds too though.

The only problem I seem to have a high speeds is cops...lol

But really I would get the alignment checked, even a little out on these cars seem to make a big difference, front and rear need to be checked.

That's what I thought I don't get vibrations or anyything. it doesn't chose sides at highway speeds.. it just feels like when I push those speeds I lose more and more control of the car as if it's not hugging the ground like it's supposed to... my tires are pretty solid also.

Like 90ST said, I would get it checked out just to make sure as that's the most likely culprit. It wasn't just really windy that day was it?

One would think, but last year till about 50 mph no problem, over that car felt like it was all over the road, but only on certain roads, got a 4 wheel alignment done and all good after.

I mean the wind definitely could've played a factor.. it just happened to me more than once so I definitely need to bring it to the guys to check/do the aligment hopefully that will cure it. I'll give feedback on it incase anyone else is having the same issue as me! Thanks for all the input everyone

The toe got out of spec on mine after I lowered the car and did the spc camber arms and toe bolts. I drove it like that for almost a full month because my car was too low and most shops couldn't align it. I noticed it was on certain roads as well, but I started to notice that these roads would be more rutted out from semis.

I feel the same and although I've had mine up to 150 mph a few times, it just didn't feel planted to the road like my SRT8 does at 170 mph, but that could be because it weighs as much as a tank @ 4400 lbs and the Z is considerable less.

My car was always fine at those speeds until I tried to break hard, it felt really unstable at that point.

Check your rear suspension.
