Default Does your Daytona do this?

When I do 75 with the rear windows down I get a loud rumble/hum. I look in the rear view mirror and it is shimmying.
I know the fix is don't do 75 with the rear windows down, but.....

My Magnum did it, my Charger Daytona does it, my QC Ram Daytona does it, my Isuzu Trooper did it, my Honda Accord did it.

It's aerodynamic overpressure and is normal. Crack the front windows a bit and it goes away or when you're driving over 75 turn the AC on. You generate more drag and waste gas at that speed with the windows open than you do running with the AC on.

Mine does it. My QC Ram did it too. You need to crack the front open as well like lateral said. That always fixes the prob.
