Difference in 2000-2002 LS?

[Yar1]

Hey, I was just wondering what the major (or minor) differences are between the 2000 LS and the 2002 models. I know in 2003 they made many changes but I am planing on buying an LS soon and the unfortunately the '03 are too expensive.

I perfer the 2002 just because they are newer but I'm unsure of the differences.

Thanks!

the early 1st gens had a stupid ninja cup holder, they fixed that in the later 1st gens.

LOL ninja cup holder.

That was by far the biggest revision. As well as revisions to the timing chain tensioners that caused them to no longer self destruct killing everything.

Most 01's through 02 did have a better system for delivering oil to the engine(updated oil pump that cannot be retrofitted to a 2000).

no LS side badge... different speaker set up.... and the 2000 came supercharged...

Supercharged?

Supercharged?

Wasn't that an option that you could order? The supercharger was "installed" in a box in the trunk with a promise that one day they would figure out how to make it work and send you the rest of the parts required.

 

[G-RELL]

LMAO, that would be Lincolns solution.... sell it now, figure it out later...

I think the rear seat headrests became standard after '00. In '00 they only came on V8's.

They also dropped the V8 badge from the trunk lid after '00, IIRC

I had never heard this before. So I wonder how many were actually sold?

I think it was the McLaren LS, One Lap America LS they wanted to put a supercharger on but couldn't figure it out and kept in the trunk for show.

I liked the Ninja cup holder, used it for my old cell phone and MP3 player.

Drive an 03+, and you'll decide to save up a little longer and get one of those.
