I've noticed this, specially on the 60 west. I figured it was just the crappy freeway

To my main concern. I have ~550miles on my whiteout FR-S and when I've been driving it on the freeway at about 70-75mph, it feels like the rear end keeps on slipping around and feels really loose. It also starts to pull in one direction or another. It just doesn't feel right...

Mind you, the freeway is pretty much straight most of the way.

Yes I understand that the car is fairly light but I've owned a 240 which weighs just about the same and I've never felt the handling to quite loose like that.

I'd definitely like to hear your input and if any of you have felt anything like this while driving on the freeway with this car or if there's really something wrong with the car.

Thanks in advance guys.

You live in Northridge so you're definitely driving on that 118 East. Though I don't have an FR-S (yet - on wait list), I get this all of the time driving out of Simi and into the valley. It usually picks up right after De Soto and ends around Tampa.

HEY GOV. BROWN!! SHUT THE HELL UP WITH THAT HIGH-SPEED RAIL CRAP AND PAVE OUR FREEWAYS!!!!!
