I would agree with Dirk. Somthing is wrong with your scirocco if it 
starts shaking like that. I do not have the opportunity to drive as fast 
as Dirk, since I don't live in Germany. But I've driven full out in a 
Scirocco that did not shake or wobble. The car was smooth, very stable.

JSJackson '85 Scirocco, which does shake a little right now.
