Which is why I said "many" instead of "any."
There's still the insurance advantage, the "sleeper" advantage, the technojoy advantage, maybe even the MPG advantage (we'll see), but I'd say the #1 reason people get the V6 is because they didn't think the extra hundred-ish horsepower was worth another ~$7k or they just didn't have that extra ~$7k in the first place.
If the kit gets you better-than-SS power for less than SS price, they'll sell a ton. If it gets you better power for the same price, or the same power for a lower price, they'll still sell a good amount. If it's the same power for the same price, though, I don't think they'll sell more than a handful. They'd be limited mostly to people who want to look like they've got less power than they really do, and those people have a much lower-maintenance option of getting an SS and swapping a V6 front end onto it like Hylton did.
