Guest 96SupremeCuttySL Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Exactly how similar are Gen 1 and Gen 2 W-bodies? I mean, how much deeper past the body would you have to go to get to the point where they're the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 I looked under a '00 GTP and it looks VERY similar, if that means anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Lots are similar, and drivetrains are interchangeable, but very little is the same. The suspensions are completely redesigned. Subframes are completely different. No body or suspension parts can interchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 96SupremeCuttySL Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 How similar are the interiors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 interiors are different. We cant bolt in the seats, dash, etc without some serious custom work. Just like shawn said, it's similar but not the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 They are similar in appearance, but completely different. Seat rails won't line up, dashes don't share the same mounting areas. The gen 2 W-bodies are truly a complete, ground-up redesign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
