Convertible ZL1 rear end pull / wiggle

There’s been a lot of posts about full throttle pull / wiggle (from a roll of 60-80 mph) Some think the cause(s) can be tires, alignment or ELSD. My question for the Z vert guys, is it normal to get this pull and wiggle? I opened her up for the first time @ 1500 miles and boy, oh boy, it was a bit scary. I “generally” knew what to expect from reading posts, but experiencing live and in person is another thing. There’s no way I’d go full throttle with anyone remotely near me.

The conditions, 72F, tires pressures 34psi, relatively new paved stretch of highway, flat and dry, tire temps ~94f. Full throttle @ 70mph, then 80, then 90..

And clearly, ELSD isn’t the issue.

As a note: My 2016 SS was a joy to open up on the same stretch....

The best news anyone can give me is theirs doesn’t do this...then, I’ll start having things checked out.

Thanks
