Differenes between '14's and '15's other than PDR and A8?
I know the 2015's have the PDR, and the new A8, but if I were to look at a 2014 3lt coupe manual and a 2015 3lt coupe manual; what are the other diffrences?

I'll start:
More wheel options
Corvette lettering logo near fuel gauge is now official C7
Different driving mode screen, can't remember which one
2 new colors, 2 cancelled
HD radio gone

Green is gone, shark gray and an orange now.
New wheels available, vents available in some different colors, "Z06" appearance package.
...and the Z06 itself...

Is HD radio really gone or just omitted on option list paperwork? Any 2015 owner with 2LT, 3LT interior, check your radio for HD. Deleting HD loses quite a few extra FM stations in my area.

A friend tells me his 2015 Z51 has a "Stealth" setting in the exhaust menu (but I haven't seen it yet). That was eliminated in the final production version of the 2014 NPP.

if you put them side by side i do not think there is a noticable difference. i did notice the rubber spoiler on the 15 is a little wider than the 14. seems to be the same car. not talking options. car to car next to each other. except for price.

Picked up my 15 today. There is a stealth mode, but I couldn't tell a difference in sound between stealth and touring.

Both are WAY more quiet than sport or track mode, but couldn't tell an audible difference between stealth and touring mode. I revved it to 3500 RPM, but no more since I'm still within my 500 break in miles where RPNs are redlined at 3500

There are also revisions to some parts that will not be readily apparent nor will GM be forthcoming about it. This can happen every year once they analyze warranty issues and see if certain parts can be revised for durability or to reduce cost. Back in the C6 they ended up changing the differential with stronger parts and even revised the data bus in the car. OnStar changes to hardware also happen in the product cycle and I believe this happened for 2015 in most GM products.

Picked up my 15 today.
I'm wondering if they changed the M7 tranny or tweaked it.
It's been 3 months since I've driven my 14 but the shifts seem smoother and more precise. Also 7th now is "springy" so it's actually very difficult to accidentally put it in 7th from 4th.
Anyone else notice this or is it just in my imagination?
My NPP sounds louder too but that's prob in my head... LOL

This was the first I drove a C7, but I did note the shifting was much smoother and easier than my C6. The clutch seemed to have less "play" than my C6 as well.
