Even the top two F Stock Mustangs (one a 2007 model with the 4.6L engine!) would also have trophied in A Stock.
Watch SCCA's F Stock class this upcoming season, as the SCCA has seen fit to place the 1LE in that class, where it will run against the non-LS Boss if the reclassing of the Boss comes to pass. The Boss LS is not elibible for Stock class competition.
I'm not cheerleading for the stick axle as much as I'm suggesting that the "FOR a live axle" qualifier doesn't always amount to as much as the words themselves suggest. Under more "real world" conditions, there typically is more difference, and I get that.

It really depends on the track layout and its condition.
