ZR1 brakes, WAY TOO expensive. The CTS-V brakes would give the car all it needs to be competitive.
The other ideas are good

You're alright for a mustang dude 
Check out the price of a stand-alone LS7 and get back with me. You'll also need the stouter trans and diff to go with it.... you're gonna end up with a $70,000 car! |
The LS7 is right at $14,000 retail & the LS3 is about $8,500 retail. Keep in mind thats retail. So I am thinking GM may have About $3,000 more in the LS7 verse The LS3. Throw in a extra thousand for them to make a little on the deal. So, for about 3 to 4 thousand more you could put the LS7 in a Z28. And people on here are all ready saying add more HP to the LS3, So the extra 50 to 60 HP gained with the LS7, should not require an any stronger diff' & tranny, over what you would need for the higher HP LS3.
