Question 2000 WS6 vs 2002 WS6

I am looking at 2 different TA's and was just wondering what are the main differences between the 2000 WS6 and the 2002 WS6?

Thanks

Basically, the 01/02 have different wheels, and the addition of the LS6 style intake for a rated 5 hp gain, up to 310, and the deletion of EGR.

Other than that, they're exactly the same.

I would look more at mileage/condition/price than actual model year.

Honestly man, pick the car that's in better overall shape. I picked up a 99 because the car was pristine.

The differences are subtle, but I agree with a post.. Pick the best one.. just because it is newer it doesn't mean it was kept up with as good.
