It has now happened twice on my '02 Roush II- the first time I was driving off the highway into a gas station exit- came to the ramp at about 70mph- shifted into N- let the clutch out and the steering wheel stiffened up to the point that I had to turn the car off and restart it to unlock the steering wheel. Then, same situation on the streets and it happened again. Should I not be shifting into neutral or is it something else! Please advise!!!!!

Something like that used to happen to me in my Infiniti G35 cpe. At speeds higher than 79 or once in a great while lower, dumping the clutch would cause the RPMs to drop and the car would shut off. That is scary as hell especially when approaching a curve, exit or tollway. It happened right after I installed my cold air kit.

My car used to turn off when I shifted into neutral around 65-75mph, came to note that one of the vacumm hoses was halfway disconneted.

That happened to me a few times after I put the FRPP 70mm TB on my 02 GT. I ended up using the adjustment screw to open up the butterfly a little more and then let the IAC bring the idle back down to normal. Then opened it a little more and the same with the IAC. Since I did that it's never happened again. Don't know if it'll help you but it's worth a shot.

I have heard of this happening at the track when running with the head light pulled. It has got to related to a situation with the intake or problem with IAC.

Hmm.. i don't think i've ever tried putting the car in neutral at 70 mph.... I usually break and put it in 4th then neutral if I have to stop..
