I myself am on the fence about whether to go full ahead with mods as I have been there done that with a older 5.0 and a Cobra and regretted it.
The problem is many choose not to mod their SS's as they are worried about warranty. In the 5.0 world I would guess most do mod. so there are a whole lot more faster 5.0s on the prey than SSs.

That's not a fair comparison because if he had the A6 he also would of saved money from not having to replace the clutch and is quite possible to get into the 10's with Ford's awesome stock auto and spend the clutch money on something else to beat said bolt on L99 or save the money it to keep the L99's budget even lower to $2.5k
Isn't one of the cheapest way to get traction in a SS is to buy the expensive 18" C6 Zo6 rims and then drag radials. That ought to eat up a large portion of said budget. Sounds expensive and thats probably why so many SS owners dont own proper drag racing tires compared to all the mustangs I see with dedicated drag tires for pennies on the dollar due to the small 15-17"ers they run. Then kiss you stock IRS bye bye if you happen to have a dead hook if you didn't spend some of that money on that section of the car.
Dollar for dollar the 5.0L wins
Sorry
