Check the obvious/cheap first.

Are the tires properly inflated? Are the wheels/tire properly balanced? Those are the most obvious, and likely.

Beyond that you have the driveshaft-unlikely for the most part at only 80mph cruising, IMO. Also, you could have some suspension issues, perhaps engine/tranny mounts, etc. It would help if you described what "alot" is, and where you feel/think the shaking is coming from.

i would say deff the wheels if you have the corvette rims... just get them balanced and have them filled to 38 PSI or so and check it out again
