That's a common feeling going from the 00-03 4.4/4.6 to 04-08 4.4/4.8. It's valvetronic and the trans that make the 04+ V8's feel sluggish off the line.

The 4.8 is beautiful (Imola Red with beige seats and black interior). I also have to say my sport seats seemed to fit better than the comfort seats in the 4.8. The 4.8 really stood out at highway speeds...very fast and infinite throttle response. The 4.8 has 41k miles on the speedo and the lot is asking $36900 (he gave 29600 at auction). I'm not sure if I'll make him an offer, I just wasn't that blown away.
Any thoughts from the masses?
