Performance.

Thank's for the replies everyone, I understand. The 5 litre is the go. "Normal" was a poor choice of word, I was interested in how much difference there was between the two engine's. Seem's like a fair bit.

i can give you the yobbo perspective,
most 253's in good condition, say 3.08 diff1st gear burnout only
most 308's in same same, you will be able to snatch second and hold it there

also when some ricer punk and hit hot asian girlfriend pass you on the freeway at 100km, he is doing 110kmh, don't bother with a chase with a 253, you put your foot to the floor and all that happens is drop on your vaccume guage

were as a 308 will get up and boogie.

apart from that, there ain't too much between them for everyday driving
