Took the 04 to 140 MPH

About 3 AM last night on a deserted highway I decided to do a real "break in" for my new TL. The TL had another ~1000 RPMs 4th gear of the sportshift, but I just let go of the gas because my exit was comming up. The 04 felt more planted to the ground than my TLS does at that speed, but one thing that felt odd was the chassis seemed to sway a bit back and forth even though the car was in complete control. This happened on a very small turn in the road. I guess this is what Car and Driver meant when they said the TL has a "pogoing chassis" at high speed. Anyways, happy driving to all.
