I HAD to post this video up. It is Mike Musto from /Drive and he is modifying a Mustang but it is still relevant as that car is a Muscle Car too.
Please take notes at the 2:35ish mark when David Ray from Hooked on Driving mentions modifying your car. Notice the FIRST thing he mentions. Yea BEBE!!!
BRAKES! BRAKES! BRAKES!
When the car is in the shop the rear end is moot but the front is similar to our cars. Also notice the brakes, slotted not drilled.
I absolutely LOVE Mike's enthusiasm when he get's the car back on track after the car is modified. You can tell how much of a difference it makes. Also notice all they did was suspension and NO HORSEPOWER and they are faster.
