If the ls2 car is in good shape, I'd go for that. Just the back of the 04 is enough to make you wanna leave it imo.

^^^The irony. I feel the same about the 05-06 cars with the oversized "GTO" stamped in the rear. The conservative 2004 rear look is more my style

05 06 have stronger driveline components as well, hard to pass up unless you're gonna mod. The seats move faster. The gauge cluster is nicer.. What else?

No doubt 400/400 vs 350/365 to start is a bonus plus smaller points but when you mention seats you are reaching.(or posturing) Or Gauge cluster? I mean that is just subjective as preferring or disliking the GTO stamping and the fake hood scoops.

I guess we can almost all agree the read deck spoiler is awful compared to the clean look.

It is easier to replace the poor LS2 intake vs the 241 heads on the separate motors. And 16 extra cubes is always welcome.

The seat motor improvements were for 06 only.

Cars are ten to nearly ten years old. I think it would be a very foolish person who is still hypnotized by the 400/400 and passes up a clean LS1 car.

I guess you folks forgot the oil consumption issues of early LS2 cars.

I realize nostalgia is strong but it was never OMG! I was smoked difference. Very gradual pull, very gradual. But you know, when the legend becomes history, print the legend.

Let's not forget that the 05-06 have the dead pedal.
