I think a base car that runs in the 14s is no slouch. As you stated earlier, this power is not far from LS1s even (although, they aren't known to be pretty underrated.) Regardless, my LT1 ran low 14s stock, so I don't think the DI V6 at 300+ horse' running similar times is anything to sneeze at personally. It all comes down to what your preferrences are though
