I have recently bought this vehicle, I feel shakey when driving on bumpy roads. I know shaking up and down for bumps is normal but my car shaking right and left.
Is this wheel alighnment problem or shocks/stuts problem?
Can I continue using it with existing condition? Does it become worse if I continue to drive as it is?
Is this normal for sports cars? this is my first sports car.

How much it would cost for repair?

I don't own a car, but bring it back to the dealer, and tell them that you think something's wrong with it.
The worst thing that could happen is that they'll say it's fine.

No i don't think it's an alignment it sound like your shocks were put on wrong the best thing is take it back to the dealer and tell them about the problem and have them fix it and make sure they do it right too cause some places will do a bad job because to them after you buy the car it's off their hands
OK so i assume you have a warranty so it should be free
and yes it will become worst to the point of thousands of dollars of damage to the car so please i recommend you not hesitate and return to them and get it fixed
plus the longer you wait the more of a chance them saying it was not that way when it was sold
but the law is on your side on this one it's called "The Lemon Law"
it states in which you take a car more then 3 times to be fixed for the same problem the dealer or previous owner must take it back and refund your money
i drive a sports car too and this shouldn't happen so don't worry it's not you

I have owned two mustangs(2000, 2002) and trust me, this is normal. What is happening is the rear control arms (you have two uppers and two lowers) are waddling side to side when you travel over uneven surfaces. This is a common problem with the four link suspension in mustangs (and the main reason why they switched to a 5-link system in the '05's and up) To remedy this problem I bought and installed aftermarket upper and lower control arms. The factory control arms are made of stamped metal.They also have weak rubber bushings that allow a lot of cushion but not alot of stability when pushed to their limits. Quality aftermarket arms are made of boxed or round steel or aluminum and they prevent this wiggle you experienced. They do have tighter bushings that connect the chassis to the rear axle so the ride quality will take some getting used to, but the trade off is worth it. I installed them on both my mustangs and they rode much better, launched better and were more stable on uneven and curved roads. Hope this helps

check the tires, if they're bald, it might be that, also check the alignment. You can usually feel the road more in a sports car than a luxury car though.
