its got summa tot do with the g-force at 100mph.........as the air hits the front bumper...it forces the front to lift up...and back to go down......therefore makes it feel lights...and steering wheel shakes more than usual.......no way really to stop it tbh.....

...Your in a Vauxhall Corsa - what do you expect at 105mph? Not exactly a shopping run at that speed is it!

but why wud u want to go 105mph anyway......IMHO...it dnt get u anywer faster...u still get stopped at roundabouts...lights etc.....
and constantly doing high speeds in your car will force parts to wear out quicker...I.E...Bearings......Cambelt is alos under alot of stress at that speed...and u risk snapping it ...
not to mention causing danger to other rdusers

Mines just a humble 1.4 8v spi but I still got her to 113 on the motorway (down hill of course). I get a bit of a shake between 65-70 but then it goes.

not really tbh i very rarely get to 100 unless im racing sum1 or pissed at being made to go slow by some old tosser in the outside lane who wont pull in!!!
I do regularly hit 80-90 tho but often backdown incase theirs a copper around!

As above - one or more of your rims needs balancing me thinks.

I did 150mph when I first got my car just to see what it could do. Never again though. I usually average somewhere between 80-90mph whilst motorway driving. Anything over that and your seriously risking your license and your life.

I reckon if I did 150mph the shell would come flying off (its a corsa btw )

It was remarkably smooth and sturdy at that speed though. Couldn't see anything but fuzzy blurs though.
