Is one year better than the other?
Anything I should watch out for?
Any special options I should get?

Thanks

There is a couple little things that got fixed after mid '07 - there's a TSB for it.

These are the options but some are only available for 08/09:
- Premium Interior
- HID
- Shaker 1000 (10 speakers)
- Ambient lighting
- Navigation
- Satellite radio (turtle shell antenna on deck)
- Car cover
- Stripe's - all, some, or none

You can also look at the build sheet on the home page.

The only major change is that in 09 the satellite radio is standard. I had one on order and once I saw this I found an 08 without it.

The only thing to watch out for is the ADM.

Enjoy
