Difference in 2001 vs 2002 Trans Am?

I've been looking around to buy a 2002 WS6. I wanted to know if anybody could tell me the differences in 2001 models vs 2002 models? Is there any difference at all, in looks, options, or engine? I appreciate your help! Thanks a lot guys!!

The difference is 1 year. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Seriously though, I'm not exactly sure. They both have the LS6 intake and the 5.3L cam. Rims are the same. The difference is between the '00 and the '01 model. I'm sure others will chime in with some more info.

Other than 2002 being the last year for the f-body they are the same, can't imaging GM investing any $$$ into a dead platform

I thought they had the 6.0L cam, not the 5.3L cam.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by DinoZ:
