I believe the post by Brian prior to this is in some ways accurate, but in other ways a bit off the mark. The press releases about the 2002 cars infer that Aero like suspension specs have been adapted to the lesser versions, but perhaps driving one and seeing if all of the components have been used and work together is the better way. For example,they might have put in the struts and springs etc,but retained the prior Michelin "GREEN" tires used on 2.3 LPT models. If that is the case, it would take about $1500-1600 dollars to buy the better wheels and tires that are largely responsible for the Aero's better handling.
Another issue to consider is the fact that now the 2001 Aero can be bought for a significantly better price than what you will have to pay for a 2002 model.If value is what you are looking for, the 2001 will probably be the better deal. As nice as the 185 HP motor is, the Aero is far better on power and throttle response. Food for thought. Good luck on your decision.
