Default Whats the difference between 07 and 08s?

I'm finding some nice deals on 07s, great looking GT Premiums with only 400 miles that they want $22k for.

Is there any difference between an 07 and an 08 that I wouldn't overcome with a kit and a 500hp supercharger?

You could get 500hp out of either car. You could get that out of a 20 year old car. Same motor in 07/08

Am I losing any performance getting an 07 instead of an 08?

They're the same damn car. Just google the specs. It'd be a whole lot quicker than waiting on responses.

Relax buddy. Unfortunately my knowledge on vehicles is limited.

I did review the specs, some of which is greek to me so I'm asking from people who've driven/worked on the car incase I've missed anything important.

I try to search here first and across other forums before I ask so it's not redundant but they're no comparisons -- for obvious reasons now I'm coming to realize.

Use google.

How are you going to build a 500 HP car if something that simple is greek to you?

Not being an *******, just wondering wtf?

I can see where you're coming from but you've got me wrong. With a lot of things numbers on a spec sheet don't always equal performance.

Take computers for example. Computer processors can come out with the EXACT same name AND visual specs but different (hidden) versions perform on different levels that make *huge* differences. You wouldn't even know unless you knew *exactly* where to look. The difference in versions could mean as much 10 degrees more, or less heat for your chip which can/will make the difference overall for your entire machine's capable lifespan and overall system performance.

So no, for me it isn't as simple as just using google and being happy the results display the same numbers and equally why I'm confident when I'm ready to build a 500 HP car I'll have all the knowledge I need.

I do appreciate the feedback all the same, not trying to **** anyone off.

I wasn't intentionally being an ***. Both years have same displacement.
