Does the 3.0 have under the bonnet over the 2.5?

From memory it's 167 on the 2.5 and 208 on the 3.0, the MSD version with Gcams brought the 2.5 up to 195. Which is odd to think in a whole 500cc the difference was a mere 13bhp  :)

Trust me, whatever you do to a 2.5 / 2.6 it will never be a 3.0 / 3.2. The performance difference is a world apart.

But remember, black ones are allegedly faster, than rare silver and white stripey ones :)

Don't overlook the fact that the torque characteristics of any given engine also play a big part in proceedings.

Indeed, I've had a 2.5 with 3l cams and a superchips chip.  Nowhere near as quick or driveable as my 3.0l I had at the same time.
