2001 and 2002's for the egr less more horsepower engine. 2001 becasue they made fewer that year so they could kick off the final year production and produce those god awful yellow dime a dozen "collectible editions".

Of course not, you don''t want to **** of the 350hp LS1 vette owners, but we all know that the 98-02's pushed 340hp or more at the fly.....some are stock and push over 300 at the rear wheels....

Yes the 01 got the Z06 clutch. So you don't have to be pissed about that anymore.

I vote for the 2001. Dunno why people are saying that the 02's had larger injectors and the Z06 clutch over the 2001's, cause they had the same 28lb. injectors and clutch.

Does anyone know what year has the most incidence of "piston slap"?
