The car - 02 SS - 600whp N/A - M6 - 3.90 gears - 3300lbs with driver. All supporting mods suspension chassis wise.

Is it entirely unreasonable to think this car will crack off bottom 9's?

No it’s not unreasonable at all if you mean bottom nines as a high nine. The key to any N/A car is the 60’ time. You will have a lot of trial and error getting this right. But the correct springs, shocks, tire, etc. is crucial especially with a M6. Definitely go bias ply with the tire. Also if your main goal is 9s I would be open to a gear change once you start testing. It’s highly unlikely that you’re going to crack nines your first time to the track. It’s going to be a learning curve.

If you want to make the most of your 600whp, what happens inside the bellhousing will be a critical piece of the puzzle. Here's a webpage I put together to help explain how inertia and clutch engagement affect different parts of the run... https://grannys.tripod.com/clutchtuning.html

Running 9s is not entirely easy. Expect there to be a trial and error period getting everything to mesh and put down power efficiently and well. A 9.99 at 135mph with a 3300 pound vehicle weight will generally require 570 wheel horsepower with a clean sticky launch and smooth power the whole way down the track. A 9.0 at 150mph takes a minimum of 800hp. That's just math.
