You need to check out some of the other posts about the jiggles that vettes get. It's normal for most of us, but not all.

In my case, it turned out to be worn shocks. She would shake all the time.

You need the usual dose of medicine: high-speed tire balance; front/rear wheel alignment; then if nothing gets better check shocks, worn front end (or rear) rubber bushings; check for bent or broken suspension components. Lots 'o fun. :chevy
