2017 Model Year Differences
Does anyone have a complete list of what differences, changes, enhancements, etc. were made for the 2017 Z06 vs. the two older years? I know issues about overheating were addressed but is there a complete list? Thanks.
I also know search is my friend, I could not find a comprehensive list.

M7 - secondary radiator (many of us 2015/2016 owners have retrofitted it)
Front brake cooling ducts, and non-Z07 gets wheel blockers (many of us 2015/2016 owners have added them)
Different colors - Laguna Blue gone, Admiral Blue added, maybe a couple others ditched

The shroud or plastic cover or whatever you call it on the inside of the hood vent is wider, there is less clearance for an aftermarket intake, but I dont think the vent itself is different.

2014, 2015 - black plastic engine start button, manual rear hatch lock.
2016 and up - brushed aluminum start button, electric pull down rear hatch lock.
Not sure but the front cameras were new in 2016, can anyone confirm?

I know the original question was about 2017 differences, but it was just reported in this thread in the C7 General section that the 2018 has a nice digital display of some temps/pressures in the Track display:

Maybe I am not stating the name correctly. It is the plaque/name of the person who built the engine. Here is the thread with pictures of what I was referring to...
