Thread: Is there any difference between the 2000-2003 Grand Prix?

Pontiac Grand Prix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Special editions, lmited editions, and 40ths are about the only noteworthy appearance differences. Engine wise 04+ is better for a few reasons. Trans sucked for 97's

^^^ gt's only

none, besisde the 03 got the hardend 4th gear shaft and a different valve body. Otherwise the motor is the exact same from 97-03.

'05+...because plenty of '04 cars still got the plastic intake gaskets and not the metal ones.

Somewhere in those years there was a change from a butt ugly steering wheel to a less nasty one.

and lets not forget that 02 was the last year for the coupe

True true, 04's were all kinda frankenstiened with old rods and plastic lim gaskets. Hit or miss...

Rims started in 99 for the torque stars and there were a few other less attractive wheels in there somewhere too like the cross laces and snowflakes

01+ have a weird way of deleting the rear o2 sensor

Most differences are trim package/ option related which changed year to year.

2000 was the last year for the Auto Dual Climate Control. The air bag changed in 2003 as well.
