Alex,
I'm a 2000 R/T owner, so I haven't looked at the 2002's that close.
The 2000 R/T comes standard with the following, plus other stuff:
Better anti-lock brakes, 17" Michelin tires, the Autostick, heavy-duty engine cooling, performance suspension and steering, fog lamps, and of course the 3.5 Magnum, with no speed limiter.
Seemed well worth it to me at the time.
