Just one question, SVT Chic, how does the list go on and on? The only true differences between the two is the seats. The rest is cosmetic and/or basically inconsequential. 3650 or T45? You wouldn't know the difference unless you were told. 31 spline to 28 spline axles? You may want the beefier axles if you are really going to crank up the power, otherwise, who cares? The radio? The '99s is much better with way more aftermarket stuff available. There is no difference mechanically in the cars. The same motor with the same power.
I am sure that you like your '01, but there is no difference in driveablity. The seats are the '01s only advantage. You can get aftermarket seats that are truely fine for a good price. If it wasn't for the smoked headlights, you couldn't tell the difference until you get close.
