Make sure your tires are balanced properly. If that doesn't work check out your alignment.

Do you have a vert? I have the same shake. Took it to the dealer four times and all they did was balance the tires and say its normal. I also installed the aluminum drive shaft and subframes which all helped but not totally eliminated it. Definitely have it checked to make sure nothing is wrong, but I think some of the shake is just inherent to the convertible.

if balance and alignment work out, then look at the tires. When i bought my GT i put 4 brand new tires on it. 2 of them w/less than 500 miles had broken (defective) belts. This caused the same sort of feeling. Its tough to see visually unless you know what you are looking at. Run your hand around the middle of the contact surface on your tires. If you feel and bumps or dips, thats it. Good Luck!
