Default Diablo Floating at high-speeds

has anyone experienced the Diablo feel a bit floatly at high speeds? If so what causes this? I can remember doing 100mph and it felt like it got a bit floatly on the road..like the front end wandered? maybe its just me.

I have not noticed any floating on my SV. Last weekend I was at a rally and we were gong at very high speeds at times . The car always felt solid even at speeds of over 130.

you know it might have to do with the roads I was on they were a bit uneven...with large tires like that...imperfections in the road can pull you. Just like my Viper.

I have a 92 Diablo. I have had it up around 185+ many times. It is so sold its like being in your living room. My Jalpa was scary over 90.

I have no cats and very little muffler.
