Yeah your right. The changes mechanically are very small. A few people around here tried telling me how improved it was and everything and I will be the first to say that overall the car did improve but its still the old car with a new suit. I had a few people tell me that it was built on a new platform i was like WHAATTTT i dont think so. This is my 3rd W-body car and i know a pretty good amount about them but other than my few things i love the car. I would have had a 03 gt but i wanted brand new with no miles so i could keep it for the long haul....JEEESSAASSS i will probably own new again but my next car will not be a brand new car..........
