Its all about sound for me. Nothing beats the sound of a 5L easily spinning the rears at 4000rpm :)

I know you said overall, and technically overall would include power, but i don't 'want' power, i want to go round in circles ;)

5.0 litre for the sound!

I'm not 100% on this, but I think you can get a 304 to sound tougher than a 308. So I voted EFI. 5.0.

At the end of the day though, I like any v8. I work at maccas and served a guy thru drive thru the other day in a black VZ SS ute, he had a loud exhast, sounded awesome. He was giving it revs and kinda ripping it up all the way through drive through.

I agree on that, unsure why but the injected motors just have a nicer sound compared to the carby 308s at least for me

being lucky enough to own a FI 5L and a LS3, you can't go past the FI 5L GroupA for sound.

But the LS3 for easy unopened power and torque.
