Coming from someone who currently has both cars, I disagree. I could tell with a blindfold on and so could the passenger if they paid attention. My '08 has a delay in the throttle driving around town with partial throttle applications, my '05 doesn't. It feels like a real quick fuel cut followed by acceleration. Happens at least once every time I drive it. The '05 is responsive in all situations. Other AP2 v2s feel the same way to me.
I can deal with the problem though and still love driving the car. Hope this helps ebbai!
I must add that I'm getting much better mpg out of the '08 though!

Honestly, as the S got "upgrades" it got a lot softer and more "DD" friendly. So you should base your decision on that- but if you want GPW, go for it because everytime you look at the photos on this board, you'll always regret it.

I'd go with the 06-08. Having a throttle cable is nice and all, but having the extra safeguard of VSA is worth it in my opinion. You can disable it with the press of a button and the more important question is "why not?"
I made 240whp on Giles Dynopak while other AP2V1 made 230-235whp.

DBW will not affect hp or anything for that matter. I guarantee you if I made you drive 2 cars you will not be able to tell which one is DBW. Anyways I would choose the 04-05 since the 06-07 wheels are the ugliest things...
