welll first off you need the hp to go that fast . Is the car a street car or a racer. If its a racer you could gut the car and everything and probably get it to weight sub 3000 w/o driver. As for suspension , you could get rid of the front sway bar, get drag shocks , your gonna need a differnt torgue arm mount from the sponsor sphon. you could get lower control arms too. And an adjustable panhard bar. Thats a good start , someone else should chime in .

Like he said, is it going to be strictly race track car or street /strip or even just street car? You can do away lots of things if its strictly track car.
