08 introduced chrome wheels, no moldings on doors, stabilitrack...not sure what else, though.

07 had deeper cupholders than the 06. Also DoD was changed to AFM. Warranty extended.

All in all, not too much.

I thought it was odd that every 08 SS I've seen didn't have the body side molding. I think it looks somewhat plain without it. Thanks for the info Buff!

Oh yeah, and I forgot to add that the '06 DOES have DoD. It changed to AFM the following year.

There is no difference. This is GM marketing at work. Active Fuel Management versus Displacement on Demand, probably changed due to the bad press on the 1980's Cadillac cylinder deactivation system.

Ah. Thanks for clearing that up. I looked at it, and found definitions for both, and was sitting here going "It's the same damn thing" Anyways, I'm very pleased with my 07 SS.. MUCH better than my 05 Ford Mustang. Years above in fit and finish.
