First off- its always nice to correspond with another Z8er. Second, its always nice to have a question that can be answered!

Your intuition is right. What you are feeling is sometimes called "tramlining" and it is due to the wide front tires not always "sitting" perfectly flat on a non flat road surface, so they try to find a place that they can rest flat- and you notice this through the steering. This will be the case with nearly all performance cars, as they all have wide tires. How much of a sensation you feel depends on many factors. This is the "downside" of having a high performance car.
