why did you guys buy 5.0?

Hi,
I was just wondering what was the reason behind buying and racing your 5 liter. I know that it has good gas mileage and all, but wouldn't you rather have a carbureted race car? Their kinda old school and traditional, but gotta keep the good ol' carburetor around right? I ask this because i have a truck now, and am thinking of picking up car. I want the car to be pretty fast(at least 10 secs.), but i will only drive it on good days for crusing and sometimes at the track for fun (no racing). If i had to buy a car, and i didn't already have one, 5.0 would be the first immediate choice. Thanks!
