Angry Tail of car twitch at highspeed??

On Friday night I was going for a rip down a strech of highway and was going for a topspeed run. The car was pulling well and stable, but then all of a sudden at about 170km/h (105mph) the back end of the car did a quick little twitch to the right while we were entering a very gentle sweeper. It was very noticable and a real *** clencher moment cause it felt like the car was gonna do a snap oversteer outa nowhere. It wasn't a case of too fast for the corner, it was 100% a mechanical issue of the car, not a slide. I would appreciate any suggestions on what could cause that kind of reaction from the car. All the bushings on the car have been done so it wasnt a case of play in the suspension quickly shifting and loading to the right around the left sweeper.
Thanks
