yesterday, me and a friend found this 5km straight road with no traffic and decided to see how quick these cars can go, when i hit over 220km/h(130mph) it started to shake anyone have any idea what will cause this problem

check to see if your axel bolts are tightened to spec and also if you run after market rims that they do not need special center bore washer rings also tire pressures

I'd start by jacking up each side of the car in turn, grab the tire and feel for any looseness. If something moves other than to spin, look for the place that you have free play that you shouldn't. You should be able to find bad bearings, tie rod end, a-arm bushing, steering u-joints etc this way. If you don't find anything this way, get the tires balanced.

944 are very sensitive to wheel balance....

130 is comparable to 65 in a domestic, should be silk. My guess, tire balance if the shake started at speed. Follow hp18racer's advice and fix as soon as possible. A straight [or curvy] Road is a terrible thing to waste.

front right wheel bearing was F%@$ed all changed now and driving smooth, i haven't had a chance to get high speeds on open roads, Melbournes weather is crap, rain rain and rain. and ive had a bit of ignition issues which have been solved, installed an aftermarket alarm which took 3 days to install properly, since the old one got removed by PO i think, the car has been off the road for 3 weeks but so far so good

Thanks for the follow-up, weird stuff happens more and more as the cars get older and older.
