[Shotimes] Vibration or picky...again

My ATX is pretty smooth at speed unless it's been sitting for a few
days.  It's got a similar setup to yours except for slicers.  My
father's 92 track car is so smooth a high speeds, you feel as though you
are floating (needs downforce).  Bumps are another matter...

So there's no vibration above or below 70-80?  Where and when do you
feel the vibration the most?  Brake pedal, steering wheel, dash, seat,
etc.  Cruising or during acceleration?

Maybe a worn ball joint or out of balance tire/wheel.

I'm noticing a noticable, but only somewhat annoying, vibration in my
car somewhere around 70-80mph.

If someone was in my car, I think it's likely that they would notice the
vibration. One of you guys would.  But the question is if you would find
it objectionable.

I have TPR bushings throughout, alu SFB, torque converters, Koni,
Intrax, 235/40-18 on 8.5 rims, pilot sport tires.

Do any of you with equal or tighter cars have a vibration free ride at
high speeds?

Am I being naive in assuming that I can possibly achieve vibration free
ride after having replaced most of the vibration absorbing components?
