Differences in year models

[psteen]

Hi All,

I'm in the market for a used Busa and am wondering what year model I should look for. I understand that there was subframe problems that were solved in 01 or 02. And then there were starter problems in 02 that were solved in 03. Also, is 03 the last year with the 220mph speedo?

Any advice would be appreciated

The 2005 black and silver is the one with the most horsepower....

and, of course, the best looks!

04LE, sitting still it's faster than most things moving.
