96 V6's have 150hp. 99 V6's have 190hp. Pretty big difference to me.

the body are way different. 99 they changed the body style. i dont like them because they are too boxy looking. look it up on ebaymotors if you dont know what they look like or google the pictures

Yes, there is a noticable difference... and just so you know the 99 gts do not have a 5.0L they have a 4.6L.

The body style changed from 98-99, and a GT will have much much more power.
