I'm definitely thinking that too. I've done a lot of driving on the drag strip and used to keeping the pedal to the floor and driving through some stuff but this is too much and I'm going to end up in the wall if I don't figure it out.

Did you double check those and make sure everything is as it should be?

I had it up while swapping tires and gave it a close look and shake down of things I could get my hands on. Put tires on and did the same while I had it up.

No stablilitrac light?.....
Pete should be able to diagnose, if you can't find anything...Good luck and be careful.

No lights ever and do need to get on a rack. Something is up for sure.

All 3 times I’ve attributed it to road condition, but not positive that was what it was. All 3 times were under fairly heavy acceleration and occurred between 60-90 mph. Definitely was not wheel spin in any case. Twice my wife remarked "this thing feels like it's getting out of control".
I’ve wondered it it’s an anomaly in the E-lsd and frankly somewhat worried about taking it to the Texas Mile this October where I expect to reach speeds of 175 or more.
Will definitely be following this thread to see if we can learn anything.
P.S. You're welcome to meet with me and drive mine to see if it feels the same or different than yours if that would help.

That's sounds the same and road conditions were my 1st thought. I'm slammed right now getting ready for the fest but if I don't have something lined out we can meet up. In fact we will meet up anyway. Time for dinner very soon.

I've always noticed a bit of the tailing but not to the point that caused me any concerns...I'm planning on taking her out for a cruise tomorrow & will try the 60mph test on different surfaces & let you know.

I have no mods except tail lights, radiator overflow and CAI. Other stuff still in the box.
I did notice it early on. The trip I was talking about was to San Antonio with you.
