What does your car feel like braking hard from 100mph?

I'm curious what people's braking experieces are when braking from speed.

Part of the reason I ask may be in diagnosing a problem in my car. The thing is I don't know if it's a problem, or just the way my car is.

When braking hard from 60 mph, I could take my hands off the wheel and stop in a straight line. From 100mph though, the car is very darty. It doesn't pull to one side, it just seems to need lots of correction in both directions. I don't feel as confident really laying on the binders from this speed. Maybe it is just a non-power steering car that I'm not used to.

The car has been corner balanced, front calipers rebuilt. All soft brake lines replaced with SS lines and properly bled. I had have it aligned to BA's recommended Street/track settings.
