I had a friend with a HiPo 68 Mustang that was convicted of Vehicular
Homicide. One of the points of evidence was that his rear brake shoes were
worn out, so it would seem that even stock brakes, if not maintained, can be
used against you. They also made a big deal over that big Holly 4bbl and the
headers. I suspect that could be akin to a chip mod.
