A few differences are the 02 has a larger cam, deleted one of the pup cats, and opened the air cleaner cover a bit more.

'02 has the HUD as standard equip.

From "The Corvette Story":

The front fender badge proudly announced a power upgrade for the 2002 Z06 LS6 motor: 405 hp. Lighter valves were used and the exhaust valves were liquid filled. Modifications to the intake resulted in better breathing. Two catalytic convertors were used where four used to do the job in 2001 and a revised higher lift camshaft was used. Different rear shock absorber settings and a beefier front anti-sway bar upgraded the handling.

I have driven both and as far as power, there is not a noticeable difference. My 06 had 400hp and my 01Z is quicker. You can easily gain the extra 20HP with a few mods. Good luck!

If you "love" the SW take it from me and be patient. I had to play the waiting game for nearly 4months before i found mine. In the end i couldn't be happier, it's exactly what i wanted and now i'm a proud owner

Sorry as for the diff, it's as mentioned above. There's also a small thing about "oil consumption" problems that were apparent in the 01 Z's if i'm not mistaken. Regardless, the 20hp diff, oil consumption etc, it wasn't enough to deter me from getting my white z.

I could not agree more... I would not trade my 01... It's a great car.. CAI/Long tubes will vault you up to where you would like to be for about $1200.00..
