I occasionally see parts that are available only for 01-04 GTs, as opposed to 99-04 GTs. One example would be Patriot Heads. I was under the impression that the car remained relatively unchanged over those six years (minus the hood scoop and headlights). Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Ah, Windsor vs. Romeo. I see. Thanks.

 

99-01.5
Windsor motors
longer waterpump snout
different a pillers
18.10cc dished pistons

01.5-04
Romeo motors
shorter waterpump snout
03-04 different a pillers
more theread in the spark plug holes
15.80cc dished pistons

There were also some body changes like hoods, wings and side scoops.

 

What piston CC's do you think I have in my car then? Just curious, I know mine is an 01, and it also came with the earlier pulley design.

 

You have 15.80cc

 

oh ok.

 

Lets not forget the aluminum crossover on the intake manifold. Changed that **** in 01 i believe? Which also changed the alternator bracket.

And my buddy with an 01 has a different pulley setup than mine.

Also, on the intake tube, 99-mid01 has 2 sensors, MAF and air temp sensor. mid01-04 has them combined at the MAF. Makes a big difference when buying a CAI.

 

And they also changed the location of the rear defrost button. On my car its by the headlight ****, on my friends 02 it was next to traction control. Weird.

 

also the traction control butten has a diffrent location, lumbar support was added in 00, diffrent transmission after 01+, diffrent , sidescoops, interior has some other very minor diffrences.
