Default Need help LT1 problem

I just bought a 1996 camaro z28 a week ago, and i have this very annoying problem. The car start to shake a lot when i reach 60mph. This happens also when i brake even while driving on low speed the pedal shakes like crazy.

Does anybody have a clue what could be the reason?

sounds like the car is out of alignment...and you may need to have your front rotors either replaced or trued

Are you saying that it only shakes when the brakes are applied

or, are you saying that when driving, and you reach 60mph or greater then it shakes?

Yeah it could be a few things, like they said warped rotors, out of alignment, you could have a tire out of balance(which would get worse with speed), or a more rare condition a belt in the tire could have shifted.
