Intake manifold is different -- 08 Sport 2.4L has a smaller 2-piece intake manifold while the 06-07 SS 2.4 has a larger 1-piece intake manifold. Also, the throttle bodies are not the same part number.

I'm not following you guys. Explain how they're so different? The only difference I know is is the badging, and the ecu...they are the same car. It's slightly different because it's the next year. I'd see no problem putting a pretty SS badge on my sport. The only reason they even called it the sport is because they wanted the ss/tc to be the only "SS" for the year.
Looks the same, performs the same (if not slightly better on the low end) I don't understand the hostility

i just don't get why peole are so insecure with the badging that they want to put other badges. it's always the lower models that want the badges, and body kits to look like the other cars. most sc guys take the damn badges off, but the 2.2's and 2.4's want the badges. just always seemed odd to me.

I'm not a lower model than a 2.4 SS, if anything my like 3 extra ftlbs of torque make me a teeeny bit better. So from your viewpoint, I'd want the lower model's badges? The hostility is seriously not required though...
Why would I need a body kit? SAME exterior. If I badged my car as an SS none of you would even notice until I told you it was an '08.

Way to take it too far dude. I'm doing it anyway, because I truly don't see the problem. Is there such thing as friendly feedback on this website? I know I don't feel better about myself attacking complete strangers, but whatever floats your boat...

lol. our 08's dont have a front lip, and the rear bumper is different from the ss/sc and ss/tc. SO... we would know that it wasnt a ss/sc even with the SS badges.

I'm not trying to make it look like an sc or tc... I'm saying that it's almost identical to the 07 2.4's in every way. We're both LE5's with the same body kit.

I was referring to the "shoot yourself" thing, as if my car (material possession) could make my life complete with 3 little shiny badges, as if I'm a pathetic person.
Dude! How is that like a base model with an Si tag? They don't have the same power/engine! And they look completely different. That'd be like saying my sport was the same thing as an ls.

The 90 IROC-Z and the 91 Z-28 were identical in every way as well. Same body style, same motors, same everything. The 91 had slightly more power. It's exactly what youre describing that you want to do to your car...
