Stock, the older one may be a little faster do to computer torque management even though the 04 has more HP. On the other hand, the 04 is much better at handling and general comfort. From what I understand, the 04 seems to be more solid than the older models.

need pics to decide, they both sound like good cars. the 97-03 has more room (if your a big guy like me).

I say the older one. I hate fly-by-wire throttles.

I agree. I like what they can do with a computer in cars nowadays, but dammit, leave the cable there for the throttle!

Go with the 04. I've had a 2000 and I currently have a 05 and the 05 is better car.

Oh, 22s? The 04 then. The 22" rims will have ruined the transmission.
