I have an 01, but I may be trading for a new 02 if the price is right and my payments stay the same.

only bad change i can think of is the throttle by wire system of the 2k2 - it's not horribly annoying but it causes some irksome instances of throttle hesitation when you first hit the gas (hard), and when you let off the throttle and gas again at highway speeds.
hope this helps. overall, if you can keep the payments the same, and you the price is "right", by whatever standards are you are using, the advantages of a 2k2 are significant enough where i would i do it if i were you.

Here's my long-winded personal experience:
My bro-in-law was driving an auto '02 and I was in my auto '01 AE. He had been flooring it earlier to test it out (it was a loaner) so I pulled up next to him at the light and signalled to race. I remained even with him until we shut it down at about 100kph. I was happy that I kept up but then I talked to him about it later. It turned out he was so scared by the torque steer during his earlier runs that he was afraid to floor it when racing me since the lanes were so narrow. He had 3 regular-sized people in the car. I had 2 short skinny people. That should give you an idea of the difference.
I'm quite sure however that things are pretty even between the two vehicles once you're at highway speeds.

We all know that the 2k2 is going to rape a 2k1 stock to stock automatic's from a deap stop...
...But I always wondered how a 2k-2k1 automatic will do from a 60-100mph race with a 2k2 automatic.
What do 2k2's trap? What do 2k1's trap?

there pretty much the same. Its according to how hard your car pulls coming out of first. In my expenences running my friend its about dead even. Both of the cars only has a dropin intake.

well in my ezperience, we just had a race yesterday. i have a 2k2 GLE auto modded. and my cousin has a 2k1 SE modded. his mods are intake and ypipe and tires... i have catback exhuast and intake. we raced from a dead stop, and i pulled him hard at first gear, and i just kept pulling away from him.... i was at least 3 car lengths ahead of him at the end of first gear... so yea.. that was my experience.

and i forgot to leave something out... my cousin's car is an auto, and we were going uphill, so in a way, i did have an advantage, because 2k2 has more torque than horsepower(not at the crank) at a higher standard... and oh yea... he did have another person with him. and i was by myself. maybe that makes things more realistic. and i did not power shift. i left it at D.

Thanks for the responses so far. At this point, I conclude that the 02 is about half-a-sec faster thru the 1/4mi, but not as fast as some have stated . That is about what I figured.
I will be trying to work a deal in a month or so to see if I can acquire an 02 SE at invoice (I got my 01 for invoice, btw) and with lower financing. If I can, cool; if not, no big deal. I like the changes to the 02, particularly the increase in power. They could have kept the tail lights though .
