The only thing that I haven't seen mentioned was when the steel shift forks were changed from the aluminum ones. Does anyone know for sure?!?! Thanks! Chad

It was a production change during the 2003 production run. Happened around early Feb 2003. I've never been able to find the specific VIN sequence for the change.

My '03 was built in January '03.
I had a tranny repair done last week, and it has the steel forks.

I'm sure this is in the sticky, but don't forget that all 2004's and "late" 2003's have the RETURNLESS fuel system (RPO = FFS) a.k.a C6 fuel system. This fuel system also puts the the fuel filter in the gas tank.

I gave a very early 03 so I guess I have the aluminumshift forks. They seem OK to me. Since I don't power shift or otherwise abuse the tranny I guess they will be OK for the long haul.

Biggest difference is the 10th digit from the right in the VIN!!!!! Everytime that digit changes, we see an increase or decrease of several thousand $$.

Don't you just hate a smart ****??

The 2002 cars are faster. This is especially prevalent in the victory red color.

Silly boys. The Silver ones are the fastest. That's why GM called them QuickSilver.

But we win all of the races; it's why they call it Victory.

They call you guys quick because you can't service your women properly.
