Default Gday AUII 2000 and 2001

Gday im after an AUII XR8. And i can get a good one in both 2000 and 2001 model. I was just wondering what the differences are in these two cars? Also does one seem to perform well(performance) better then the other? thanks buds.

Which one perform better?
The 2001 could be a 220kw motor, other than that not much.

Stick with the 220 motor, was avalable in the late S2 much better _2: and you get the clear indicators on the S3 and a few more options body kit wise were avalable

2001+ for sure, may cost slighty more, but well worth it..

I guess it depends on your budget??
