C5 handling question.
I took my car to the strip today after doing some mods to it. I added the Hotchkis bars, poly bushings and drag radials for the suspension and various other mods to the motor and exhaust. Drag racing is not the primary use for the car, just wanted to have some fun with it and see what it ran. The problem I have is I cant stay in the gas the whole 1/4 mile. After about the 1/8 mile, at about 80 mph, the car is very loose. The best way to describe it is like slightly wiggling the steering wheel on the expressway. Any tips on what to adjust to fix it. My times were still not too bad, around 13.6 anywhere from 88 to 103 mph. I can tell the power is there, I just cant keep it straight.

Re: C5 handling question. (REDGAR)
If one of the CF folks don't hit on something, you better have it checked out. That's NOT right.
My rear has gotten loose going into 4th on the big end but, never any front end "wiggle". It does start to feel light in the front over 150 MPH though.
:crazy:
