The skinny:
some 2003 and 04's had tire feathering issues
Some 2006's did have oil consumption issues (not mine, it uses absolutly no oil at all) but certainly not all. this was the first rev-up engines that came with manual trannys only (autos still used the DE engine)
in 2006 the weight went up about 150 lbs which kinda negated the rev-up engine advantage.
2007 and 2008 get the HR engine which is VERY stout and very similar the the 370's engine as far as breathing (dual intake manfolds). The problem with the HR is still far less aftermarket solutions than the older engines but it's a far better engine to modify. I believe that some of the 370 forced induction tech will be backfitted to the 07's and 08's if they haven't already.


I'd go for a 2007 or 8 for the engine, or a 2005 for the lighter weight if it were my choice.
