Default Whats diff. between 02 and 03 Stangs?

I am selling my 96 GT (which is on here) and I am looking for a victim for my supercharger. I bought the M112 and tried finding a intake for the car and had no luck. Other than making a intake at work, I would just rather buy me a newer car with less miles.

I was looking for a 03 or 04, but got stuck in my search when I was wondering what the difference between the mid years 99-02. I know that the 96-98 have the non pi heads (96-97 for sure) and then sometime after that they changed. I have a few Mustangs now its just getting them fixed up. 68 Fastback (289-302 combo+toploader), 75 II six bangin (460 victim and drag strip bound soon) and my 96 GT

some GTs come with chrome rims that resemble the 99 cobras. the interior has a diffrent looking traction control button, and i think some come with a interior upgrade package

yea other than the center console/cup holders and guage color... the only differences are wheel options and color options. I believe they changes the headrests in 04, not 03...

I think where the spark plugs screw into the heads was changed in 03 because there wasn't enough threads in the previous pi heads to hold the plug at high boost levels.
