Congrats and welcome to the Forum! LS has a 3400 V6 motor and the SS has a 3800 V6 motor. Now i'll step aside for the guys with better knowledge ! ;O)

If you plan on modding your car - there is more of an abundance of performance parts for the 3800II engine.

The SS (depending on the year) usually has ground effects, a better suspension, better rims, more powerful (and upgradeable) engine, a spoiler, dual exhaust, the gauge cluster is nicer and shows more things, leather heated seats (LS can option that in), sunroof, fog lights...

Trying to think of more haha

Doesn't the SS come with a 3800 V8 also?

No - the 3800II is a 3.8L V-6. In 2004 the SS had the optional supercharger, in 05 the SS had the supercharger standard.
