Default Differences In Z06's

What exactly are the differences in the 385HP Z06 and the 405HP Z06?

Sorry for the N00b question, but I couldn't find it in the search. I'm looking to buy a Z06, maybe, and I wanted to know what the differences in the '02 and '01 models are other than HP? Because there are a lot of nice low mile '01s out there.

I know the 02's and up had something that was different...out of curiousity, how much are the '01 Z06's in your area and with how many miles? I want to get into one in the near future.

I'm looking at getting an '01 with 12k miles, for $29K from a friend of the family who owns a car lot. She's silver.

Very very very subtle differences. Its basically the cam, I believe the MAF (01 screened vs 02 descreened) and I want to say the Ti mufflers (in 02) are the differences.

Outside of that, its only emblems.

No HUD, slightly less power, wheels are slightly stronger, cam, and intake. Those are the only differences between the '01 and '02 that come to mind. The '04 Z06 has different springs.

EDIT: And the '01s had Speedway White. The only reason I would get an '01 is for Speedway White.

So pretty much, the cam and the maf plus probably some computer mapping are the only differences in the two power/handling wise right?
