I am interested in results because I have a very slight steering wheel shimmy at speeds above 60 MPH on my SPF with Goodyears and 7000 miles. Nothing like your violent shake. Mine is hardly noticable. Tires and rims have NEVER been off the car since new.
I know vertually nothing about aligment, but I'll throw out my 0.02 cents. I had a radial on another car (not a Cobra) where the belt had a slight shift in one spot and caused a slight shimmy at speed. The tire was not out of round. If you looked at one of the grooves when you spun the tire when off the ground, there was a slight wobble in one section of the tire. I have no idea if the Hunter GSP9700 would notice this. I would think so, but ???
Also, just for grins, if you have a good dial indicator, jack up the car off the groung (use jack stands) and spin each tire with the indicator on the back side of the rotor. Maybe you can narrow it down to one side or the other. Or my suggestions may be all wet !!!! Your comment about bad rotor sounds plausible. Hopefully someone will chime in with some "expert advice", cause I aint one!!!!
Good luck and post an update when you find the problem.
