Default Odd Tracking at Full Right or Left Lock...

I only notice this when I have the wheels turned at full lock in either direction, but it's almost as if the front of my car is shuffling side to side... If that makes sense. The car tracks completely normal in typical driving conditions, with the exception of the usual freeway crown and tire grooves throwing me all over the place. However, this wasn't an issue on my last C5 Z and I don't know what to make of it... Anybody have any insight as to what is causing this, or if it's normal and I'm just suffering from memory loss?

Thanks,

Danny G.

Perfectly normal with wide sticky tires!

That's exactly what crossed my mind but, as I said before, my last Z didn't do it... At least not bad enough for it to raise a flag of any kind for me. Nor have any of the other numerous cars with 265+ sized rubber up front I've been in.

Just seems excessively violent; however, considering all other tracking characteristics the car portrays makes me wonder why I even worried about this.
