Is there any difference between the 2000-2003 Grand Prix?

[3CLiPSE]

Any difference in cosmetic and/or engine components? I've seen in some the Intake boxes are different. Tail lights different? Cant find much information on it.
Any help? Thanks

Special editions, lmited editions, and 40ths are about the only noteworthy appearance differences. Engine wise 04+ is better for a few reasons. Trans sucked for 97's

Sorry i didnt elaborate myself. im not referring to gt gtp limited editions. Im talking about, GTP from 2000,2001,2002,2003. Any changes from these 3 years?

none, besisde the 03 got the hardend 4th gear shaft and a different valve body. Otherwise the motor is the exact same from 97-03.

'05+...because plenty of '04 cars still got the plastic intake gaskets and not the metal ones.

SE's too...they had the 3800 as an option as well.

Mine was one of these. Just changed them. It was manufactured 06/04 too.

Any difference in cosmetic

Somewhere in those years there was a change from a butt ugly steering wheel to a less nasty one.

I think that changed in 01. The older steering wheels had the really fat volume control and just looked gawky. Also the rims were different from 01+. They got the twisted torque star rims instead of a flat face 5 star.

and lets not forget that 02 was the last year for the coupe

True true, 04's were all kinda frankenstiened with old rods and plastic lim gaskets. Hit or miss...

Rims started in 99 for the torque stars and there were a few other less attractive wheels in there somewhere too like the cross laces and snowflakes

01+ have a weird way of deleting the rear o2 sensor

Most differences are trim package/ option related which changed year to year.

2000 was the last year for the Auto Dual Climate Control. The air bag changed in 2003 as well.
