differences 2000 and 2002??
What, if any, are the major differences between the 2000 convertible and the 2002 convertible Vette? Thanx

2001 and newer have a higher power version of the LS1, 350/375 instead of 345/350. I can't remember any of the other differences but the engine upgrade was fairly substantial, the newer motors have much more low end grunt.

Also starting 2001, A4'as do not have the column lock mechanism. |
