Car is starting to get twitchy at high speed...
Has anyone else's car started to get twitchy when hammering it up to 125mph?
I don't know if it's the shocks or alignment has changed some.

Check for leaking shock. I had a twichy feeling at the track sometime ago and it turned out to be a rear shock leaking.

I'll check the shocks out and the wheel balance.
Thanks for the suggestions...
It seems almost like the old 911's used to act.

Did you change the rear tires only? You might have a contact patch adjustment....

Guys -
When flooring it I've got to try not to move the wheel.
If I do, I've got to chase after it to the left and right.
The tires are new MPSS 265 Ft. 295 Rr 19".

Check you bushings, they wear out pretty quickly due to the ridgid chassis and suspension set-up.
Weistec developed Delrin bushings to address the issue.
