Some ZL1 Questions

Maybe another dumb question but after researching the ZL1 since 2012, what are the big differences in changes?

From 2012 - 2014?

I scanned wiki [below link] but was confused ....

Much Appreciated.

Much appreciated BPG but I don't fully understand

2012 = No My Link ( what is this? )
2013 = Has My Link ( _________ )
2014 = Dumb looking Tail Lights / No Recaro Seat Option / No Color HUD

What is HUD? What is My Link? Why are Tail Lights dumb looking?

Again, much appreciated BPG

Please explain: What is a 3/4 Rear Bumper Diffuser and why is it a negative?

I guess I should look for a 2014 LZ1.

Thanks Guys!

Wow another thread where people need to comment on 2014 tail lights.

Who saw that coming?

Just because they changed them from being an old Corvette rip-off to more reflect first Gen Camaro doesn't make them bad. Personally I didn't buy a fifth gen until they got the damn tail lights correct.

HUD= Heads Up Display and the later C5 is colour not old Atari
My Link = flat screen display for all your Navi, XM Radio, phone controls etc
'14 Tail lights = took GM a few years to realize they had it wrong then they fixed it

Wow, another "I have a 2014 and my tails are awesome" comment. Shocking.

You know what they say about opinions...

Best on the market!

If your still on the fence about what year to get...You will get way better deals on a used '12 or new '13 than the '14's now. The only thing I would have changed about my '13 is.... I wish I got it used instead of ordering it new!!! would of had 10k extra for fun upgrades and go fast parts!
