Nope.  My 1968 Dodge Charger was a tame little 318.

That goes for a lot of cars.  Did you ever change the back plugs on a
Dodge 383 from the late 60s?

So what's the advantage of "taking the weight off the wheels",
something to do with suspension tuning ?

In a static sense the wheels are still supporting the weight of the
discs (and all the rest of the car).

Poorly stated, He means that it reduces un-sprung weight. If the car
weighs a ton, and the suspension parts that move up and down weigh 500
lbs, the spring/shock system can't help transmitting lots of movement to
the car. If the un-sprung suspensions parts weigh 50 lbs, the suspension
can make the ride silky smooth.
