Price and power are the 2 big ones. An '01 Z will more than likely be cheaper than an '02-'04. Power - the '01 had 385hp (crank) versus 405hp for '02-'04. Most of the time, people mod the cars motor, so power is only limited by your wallet.

differences between 2001 & 2002 & up:
1. The LS6 engine standard in the Z06 increased from 385 to 405 horsepower. Torque increased from 385 to 400 lb-ft.
2. Front fender badges for Z06 models included the 405 HP designation.
3. LS6 exhaust back pressure was reduced by 16%
4. Cam shaft was redesigned resulting in increased lift and a 5% increase in air flow
5. Valve spring material composition was changed to increase seat load by 14%.
6. LS6 intake and exhaust valves were a new, lighter design.
7. The valve train weight was reduced by 0.81 pounds, which improved valve seating at high rpm.
8.Airflow over the LS6 MAF sensor was increased by removing grid work
9. MAF software was re calibrated
10. LS6 air cleaner housing had a larger intake
11. Wheels looked the same BUT they were cast spun instead of forged for a weight savings of 1.3 pounds per car
12. rear shock valving was changed
13. Improved clutch
14. Ticker front anti-sway bar
15. New front brake pads
16. HUD was standard

The LS6 engine's output is the result of new hollow stem valves, a higher-lift camshaft, a low restriction mass air flow (MAF) sensor and a new low restriction air cleaner design. Eliminating the PUP converter from the exhaust system enables better flow of spent gasses and reduces vehicle weight.
For 2002, the transmission cooler case is constructed of lightweight cast aluminum, replacing the previous stainless steel design.

01 one is also the only year for a speedway white Z06!

not much of a difference @ all, except that hud is standard on 02'-04' cars. All the other stuff is negligable IMHO.
I have dragged against 02' & 03' Z06s and have edged out wins and they have edged out wins. It is too close in performance to call it on the car alone.
good luck with your buy.

There isnt much difference. The 04s have a little bit better shocks. There is very slight differences in the fueling systems.

this oil consumption isue?
how much oil are we talking, like add one quart inbetween every 5000 Mile oil change? or more or less? and does this hurt anything else, or just a pain in the *** and wallet ?
