want to believe that there is a significant difference between the 2 in "normal driving" I rarely take my car above 6K revs and if the difference lies in the higher revs then it makes little difference to me. The fact that the HP in the 01 peaks at something like 1500 rpms more than the 00 seems to indicate that for me there is very little difference between the 2. Another mitagating difference, albeit small, is the 01 has a 3.15 axle vs the 3.23 of the 00. If the 01 had a 3.70 then I would really be crying the blues. Maybe I am just rationalizing so I don't drive myself crazy.......... If you do get some concrete info please post. Thanks
