Even at 325 hp for a stock 3.6, that is not a lot of hp. Lots of other street cars are pumping out a lot more hp and torque. I use my car all year round, with 350hp it is quite easy to drive, no PSM, no traction control.

One thing to consider on that car is that looking at the pictures, the variocam plus is most likely controlled by a piggy back system and they have a modified program in the 7.2 DME as the CAN bus electronics have not been integrated in order to use the factory 7.8DME. This is the cheap and easy way to do the conversion. I am obviously biased, but I would rather have a car that you can take to any shop and have them plug in the PIWIS or PST testers and diagnose and repair it just like a factory built car.
