If by "difference" you are referring to the price, the MSRP for the Z51 Performance Handling Package for model years 98-01 was around $350.
If you're referring to performance:
- Beginning with model 2000, the Z51 sway bar diameters grew from 25.4/21.7 to 28.6/23.6 (front/rear in mm), so size differences from year to year will have some effect on the performance numbers: Sway Bar Comparisons
- Here's a performance comparison for the 2003/2004 model years: 2003-2004 Corvette Suspension Comparison
Hope this helps.

Just from reading posts, I have noticed that most people who get the Z51 are in general happy with it. Many people who have the F45 or FE1 (the softer suspensions) seem to think that its too soft for the type of performance car the Corvette is... I definitely thought it was too soft...
