Not enough information given to render a decisive opinion on my part.
However, my experience going from a 1999 HOT, 200 hp, 5 speed, to a 2002 SE, 205hp, Auto, is that the 2002 SE (with the Mitsu turbo)is the "bad-dog" of the 2---way more and improved power band.
Could be, for example, your '99 has a BPV/BPC that is sticking or broken, that geives the "feel" of better performance, but as I said--not enough information given to render a total opinion of why.
