Vibration at 80 mph?

Has anyone noticed a high frequency vibration at 80 mph? It is through the car ...it feels like a drivetrain source??...not tire imbalance.

If your RPMs are too low, that happens. But I can't imagine RPMs low at 80 mph

Have you tried dropping down to a lower gear at 80 and raising the RPMs up? I'm thinking if it still does it at a higher RPM you may be correct in your guess. The only thing I hear in mine is a little gear whine around 65-70, but no vibrations.

I will try a lower gear and see. Any other thought?

I'm having the same vibration. I did notice it as soon I took it on the highway upon delivery. I'm waiting untill I hit the 1500 mile break in case anything else pops up. 100 miles more to go.
