Front end feels "floaty" over 80mph WOT

[venumous]

Anyone else experience this with the additional 400HP? My Cobras never gave me that uneasy wavy feeling in the front end like this car does at speed while WOT at the same power level. Hoping there something I can do to reduce it. I don't think it's the rear tires as I have the same on my 03 right now.

I've been up to over 145mph WOT and not experience floaty feeling. Very stable feeling to me.

I also get this but i think my stems from the rear.Not sure if its the tires or something out of line but scared me a couple times.Mine does it mostley cruising though or turning.

My first thought is the rear tires as well but not sure why it would cause it.

Mine gets bouncy on and off the boost but I think that is because I have a non-performance pack car.

What is your wheel and tire set up? Staggered, squared?

Factory 255s up front, Nitto NT05R 305s on the rear.

My Cobra has 275s up front and 315s on the rear.

I have: Front - Pirelli P Zero 265/35R20 & Rear Nitto 555R 305/35R20. Wheels are fronts 9"x20" and rears are 10.5"x20". Staggered setup.

I've got 285/35 and 305/30 and don't get that feeling at high speeds. Maybe it's the factory 255's.

It does come from the rear. I put on a set of Bridgestone RE-11s and is much improved. Plus some Swift springs. To the OP, do you have progressive or linear springs?

By your signature, looks like stock suspension. Most stock suspension cars feel floaty. But I have found that most floatiness is due to improperly clocked bushings/binding. These cars are under sprung so I would consider a set of heavier springs with the increased weight on the front end.

I have the Ford Racing full handling pack. Mine feels stable accelerating, but feels unstable in the front and moves around braking at over 100 mph. Like after a 3rd gear datalog pull. I have 285/35/19 front, and 305/35/19 rears. Both are on 19x10.5 wheels.

i'm stock suspension non pp with stock tires, i've been over 160 with no issues yes it does lift the front but that just tells me the rear is planted
