The problem is that a base GT suspension is just fucking straight up garbage. WAY too tall, WAY too soft, and WAY too un-dampened, with tires that are WAY too narrow for a 3600lb 400hp car.
A friend and I took a road trip in a 2012 GT auto from Hertz. It had 14k on the clock. At anything over 115 it was a complete disaster. Any cross wind at all would have had us flying off the road. We finally agreed to limit ourselves to 105 even though it had plenty of power for 140+. It was just too hairy at high speed.
You guys going over 120 with any regularity in a stock suspension GT are idiots. Sorry if that's you. You may not have enough high speed driving experience to realize when you're in over your head.
To fix: replace the springs, struts, and wheels/tires with just about anything from the aftermarket.
