my car feels solid over 100 MPH. it seems to hug the road more as it picks up speed. i have a good alignment and new tires so im sure that helps.
the only time my car vibrated at high speeds was when the rotors were warped. it shook the whole car. that was scary trying to slow down at 130.

where the hell are you guys driving? the only time i got remotely that fast is when my better half got rear ended while stopped beside a school bus , she was in my avalanche thank god, witnesses said he was doing at least 50 to 60 mph, she was taken to the hospital by ambulance when i got the call, so off i went in the camaro with flashers on got to 130 hospital is 30 miles away and still way to many cops, 13000 dollars worth of damage to the avalanche, the camaro was tight as all hell at that speed though, so every body must be driving on the autobahn

other than whats suggested check your tie rods and rotors (warped rotors will vibrate the car even if your not braking).

Mine feels like **** also. Vibrates everywhere even the tranny sounds/feels like its going to rattle loose. It doesnt feel like im going to slide off the road or nothing, just like nuts and bolts are falling off as a go.

it may be rotors or driveshaft. tire pressure is good and alignment should be good as well.
not to be rude, where can you legally go 100MPH besides a track?
not to be rude, i don't believe that you have never done it.
