ZL1 Model Year Differences

Hey Guys

I was wondering what upgrades/changes were made from the 2012-2013 to the 2014-2015 ZL1 model years? I have a 2014 ZL1 M6 Convertible now and looking to trade possibly for a 2013 ZL1 Hardtop Auto (w/cash back from dealer). Depending on the changes, I may just trade it for another new one if the changes are worth it.

Thanks

The changes are purely cosmetic as you can do a quick search to find these items. The 2014 model has different rear tail lights and that is about it.

I also saw somewhere that the DIC is a little different. More menu choices and color on 2014-15.

in a coupe you get PTM modes and a belly pan no matter what year. The heads up is color in a '14. Not really a "make it or break it" option IMHO.

One nice thing I did notice on my wife's 14' Stephen is the belly pan is already made for headers. We put 1 7/8 ARH on her car and never needed to trim the pan.

2014/5 has color hi-def HUD and DIC.
Perhaps not a game changer, as noted.
But looks waaaaay nicer than the earlier version.
Take a look at them both before deciding.

The drop top doesn't have PTM modes?

I agree.

This is the only thing I would what to have that my 13' doesn't have.

Good call.

Do you happen to know if these displays are interchangeable....Would they just plug right in? If I buy a 12-13, I'm really going to miss my color tach in the HUD.
