I never thought of it that way. I've never actually tested it either, but I've always assumed the extra power was a greater advantage than the shift time was a disadvantage.
I visit gagt.com pretty often to see what's new and I do know there is a guy who mated a 6-speed manual with a 3400 v6? Does anybody know about that? I've never actually read the threads but it seems like it would have some pretty interesting results.

Why would you not want to know what your work does and just speculate, then decide to tear apart the car and put in an Ecotec and do something else. SEE WHAT THIS DOES. SERIOUSLY. I WANT TO KNOW.

x2, I wouldn't mind seeing some track times either
same thing for you c2, I'm curious to see what times your setup can run.
