Default 02 z06?

Is there any reason not to get a late 2001 build 2002? I was trying to find a 2003 or 2004 z06 but a very nice deal on a low mileage 2002 just fell in my lap. Is there much difference from 2002-2004? Thanks!

I have an early August 2001 built 2002 Z06. Bought it from my friend with 3,700 miles. NO issues what-so-ever. I say go for it.
Good luck.

My 02 Z was built Aug 2001 and I bought it after 9/11. Has the revised rings. No oil issue. 405 HP is sure nice. No issues outside of the usual you find on this forum.

At this point it is who owned it and what they did to it or how they drove it vs when it was built

Mine is a December '01 car delivered in Feb '02. I now have over 80k miles on mine and it is fairly heavily modded, it has held up very well and would not shy away from a late '01 build
