Definetly the 05. Much better car all around, but I am sure the 05 is going to cost you considerably more than the 04 if that is a concern.

Spend the extra $$ to get an 05 and don't waste any $$ on supe.

get the 05, much better starting point to mod the car. with just a few mods, you can be at or above 300RWHP. it will take most of the bolt on parts for a 2V motor to get to 300rwhp.

Get the 2005. You can trade it in or sell it when you are ready for the 2009. That's a good while to wait if you are ready to buy now. I ain't waiting that long.
