Its an awesome car. I have been considering one for a long time. There isn't that much of a difference between the 04 and 05 and like it was said for the price difference you can easily get 400hp from the LS1. I have been going back and forth because you can get an 04 with 5000 miles for 22k or 05 with 5000 miles for 27k. If I do make the jump im going for the automatic. I have driven both years in auto and stick and love both. The exhaust sound is worth it. I will probably go 05 because the 04 isn't any faster then the legacy (until you get up past 100) The seats are great. The only downside is the car does feel pretty heavy.
