Last night I was screwing around with my G-tech trying to work on my launching, 0-60 times, etc, and I noticed after about 30 min of what I would say is moderate braking, I started getting some shaking in the steering wheel during light /moderate braking at like 70-80mph range. Its not physically shaking noticeably, but I could definitely feel it in the wheel, and this is definitely something I haven't felt yet since I bought the car.

Any ideas what the possible causes of this are? I've never really gotten on the brakes hard at all, aside from the occasional hard stop to show friends they work
You may have warped your brakes from constantly braking from high speeds. What may have happened is the brake discs overheated and are now slightly uneven, resulting in some vibration in light braking. Either that or the fluid is overheated. Hopefully, its temporary. I would let the car cool down overnight and try it again in the morning.
