Hi Joe - Looking forward to seeing you at a car show this season. I'm not sure if your question above is directed towards the originator of this post and/or those of us who replied. If inclusive of those who replied, I don't interpret any of us are suggesting that hot rodding an SSP is the way to go.

As a for instance we all know the brakes are a concern if you do much driving of these Mustangs. While I haven't done so myself I could see someone wanting to improve the safety of the vehicle by addressing the brakes (in what would likely be a modification from original spec). Even with the limited driving (mostly to/from shows) I do with my SSP's, this thought has crossed my mind. With the nut-jobs driving (seems they are all on road at same time when an SSP or classic car is driving) it can be scary out there even for us defensive drivers.
