I'm pretty sure the 95,96,97 are all similar with just tidying up, primarily, the front end for straight line speed. The rear suspension is identical.
The 98 had a pretty radical front suspension set-up which even VD will now admit doesn't work. It is as quick as the 97 but no quicker.
The 99 was a new shape - quicker straight line again - but, initially, the front suspension didn't work that well. they altered it 4 times during the year.
The 2000 is effectively the last spec 99 with the engine pushed in more to make it very slightly shorter and with the alternator hanging off a driveshaft.
The 2001 is the 2000 with another badge. 1mm shorter - monoshock becoming more popular.
The 2002 is the 2001 - again monoshock but people starting to move away to dula shocks for better handling over the bumps (kerbs).
The 99 as such cannot be upgraded to, say, a 2001 car but is no slower to start with anyway!
