The 05 V8 is not night and day with the 04. There IS a notable difference throughout the powerband, however, and it is most noticable in the high (4000+) rpm range, where the 230hp V8's ran out of breath. In normal 1/3 throttle or less driving, it's not a huge difference. It feels like, well, exactly what it is......a little more torque everywhere, and 40 more hp up top.
I would wait for the V8 if you don't mind spending a little more. Nice thing is, you won't be dissapointed with any of the 3 engines.
