It felt like it wanted to wag the back of the car a little at 48mph when I got off the throttle. I expect to rear of the car isn't heavy enough to control that kind of load. I took back roads and drove slowly, tried a few hard braking maneuvers at lower speeds to convince myself I wasn't insane.

I bet with some bricks in the car it would have handled better.
