Shakey engine/chassis?
My stock 94 RS B18B1 has 190000 miles on it. I know thats a lot but the car is in a REAL GOOD running condition.. it runs smooth and doesnt sound crappy. But when i am on the freeway and start hitting 80+ MPH the car seems a little shaky.. not very shaky but shaky enough to notice a difference.. the steering wheel doesnt jerk or anything like that.. it just scares me because I immediately assume that the shakiness indicates that my car is being driven too hard or something.. i don't know. I know i can't expect a super smooth ride at 80 MPH... or can I? is it shaking because my engine is putting out so much work and shouldn't be or is it the frame of my car bouncing or whatever from the speed? Is it just a poor stock suspension system? i just had it aligned last month when i purchased it because it use to veer off to the left.. Any input on any relevance to this subject will be greatly appreciated.

By your description, it doesnt sound like the motor is any issue.
You said you had your car alligned because it veered off. How are those tires up front?
are they worn unevenly to one side? cupped(high and low spots?) etc.
Inspect them really good.
When was the last time you had these tires balanced and rotated?
Are you experienceing this vibration upon brakeing? etc
