That's half the fun

Lol, he was being sarcastic man. Internet sarcasm sucks, I know. Anyway, OP I think it is a mixture of the loose TRE and the stock shocks. My car does this is as well. I just accounted it to 430whp and stock *** suspension. I can feel the rear end swaying back and forth even when the tires aren't breaking traction. My front end is tight and nothing is loose.

my buddy had a t/a that would wobble back and forth ALOT at wot. When asked for my advice first thing i noticed, was his front wheels didnt have wheel weights, and also were low on air. The next day he got his tires balanced and aired up, the wobble went away.
