The most obvious difference is the automatic transmission changed from an A6 to an A8 in 2015. If you're buying a manual, there's no difference. In 2016 they introduced front end cameras. Also in 2015 there is an option for a data recorder that I don't believe was available in 2014. Others may want to comment on that. The wheels on the base Vette changed in 2015 to resemble the Z51 wheels, but since you're buying a Z51, the wheels are the same for all three years.
I didn't find the updates in 2015 or 2016 worth the difference in price and purchased a 2014 this year. YMMV.
