When doing 80mph...
well any amount of speed actually, if I let off the gas the car automatically decelerates. Basically I can't cruise! Anyone know what cause this?? I already changed the rotors, new pads, my bushings are bad though, could those be the culprits???

Nah really? C'mon I know the difference! I'm saying when i get up to a speed where any other car would continue with gravity i can feel the engine making the car slow down! Almost as if i put the car in second gear and downshifted, not that severe but that! I put the car in neutral and it did what it was supposed to do which is cruise. Now do you get what I'm saying?

i understand what your saying..and has it always been like this? just noticed it? had other sc's to compare it to..

All cars naturally decelerate. I think you might be high when you notice this effect of down shift deceleration and perhaps it just makes it seem more intense. Are you in a SC400 or 300? how high are your rpms when you left off the gas and are you on a inclining or declining road? What imDementeD said...the higher rpm range you're at the quicker it will decelerate till it downshifts and continues so on.
