differences between '03 and '04
Are there any differences between the '03s and '04s or were no changes made. I felt noticable differences (smoothness, handling) in driving between and '03 and an '04 with the same setup. Maybe it was just the roads I was driving on.

There were a few subtle changes. The 04s got the LS2 water inlet and thermostat, the wrench accessible sway links, and some other minor changes in the computer. Not really enough to make much difference.

Some differences, but not suspension or tires. If one had the F55 option (Magnetic selective ride control), then there was a big difference in shocks.

I couldn't agree with you more.The ZO6 had some changes as mentioned before, but the C5 didn't except for the anniversary badges.

But his is a Garage Queen and mine is a daily driver with 60,000 on it well broken in I think you just notice the newer feel.
