Default 07 GT hood wabble

Am I crazy or does the hood appear to be coming off at anthing over 120? I love the car especially the rear end rating (311 I think) so it really flies at top end but the hood scares the hell out of me. Does anyone else have this problem?

Try adjusting the rubber stops, my hood seems pretty solid even at 120+

Common with the '67 also. I rebuilt one and the hood had a mean shimmy starting around 90 mph. California at the very least. We have a nice, straight,smooth, 4 mile long stretch of roadthat doesn't have much traffic that we do it on. I hit 97 while out in Cali and a Super Bee and a Vettepassed me. I just waved.

You are absolutely correct, I have had the Shelby at over 180 MPH on the oval at California Speedway and I thought the hood was going to come right off the car. Time for hood pins for me (probably you too)!
