The 'Redtop' is the (C)2.0XE with normally aspirated fuel injection. The C20LET is basically a slightly modified XE with turbo'd injection.

My LE is a Redtop.

Also they have sodium filled valves, different cams and oil feed. The cat is meant to be Steel and the exhaust too.

The nickname 'redtop' comes from nothing more than the Red L shaped plug cover.
