By this time, the care and feeding of the engine probably matters lots more than the manufacturing date of the engine. We are talking 14-15 years old at this point.

True, yes ....but I am viewing from a particular angle: low mileage over those years and wham she's whistling around a track.

Had the Bentley book handy, no mention of 5 speed transmission change from '98-'99 for what that is worth. There was a change highlighted in 2000 to go with the larger engine displacement (2.5 - 2.7).
