Major differences b/w the 2015 and 2016 GT models?

[Raiderjoey]

Sorry if this is posted but I'm in Afghanistan and it's literally 200x faster to start a new thread than to search because of the connection speeds here.

if there is a thread on this already, can someone post it here? if not, can someone provide me with any major updates that will make getting a 2016 a better choice?

thanks!

Silver wheels on the PP, hallelujah.
PP on the convertible
GT/CS and Black-out trim options

Plus the Sync3 and Hood turn signals.

Not a lot, really.

If infotainment matters to you, like if the car will be your daily driver and only car, then SYNC3 is well worth it. It's simple, intuitive, and responsive.

Other than that, unless you want some of the 2016 exterior appearance options like factory stripes, blackout package, or California Special, then just go with a '15, which will likely be cheaper at this point.

*Hood turn signals are cool and all; I certainly enjoy them, but it's not a big enough deal to choose the '16 over the '15. But I will say that I'm glad I have them due to installing the dashcam; so if I'm ever in an accident I can show insurance that I had on my turn-signal before turning (which I always do).

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it the info.

If i can save a considerable amount by going with the '15, I will go that route. otherwise I'll snatch up a '16 when I get back to the states. (April)

You could always look at ordering a 2016 through Military Auto Source. They have reps at pretty much all of the larger bases out there.

Since you'd be coming back in April, you'd be a few months away from 2017 MY announcement. I'd wait for that because it's likely 17MY will be refreshed (facelift, power gain, or both).

 

[Kahboom]

Power gains from a 17' would most likely be either a revised intake manifold, or better flowing exhaust even headers, or a tune. Or even a combination of sorts. They just revised the engine so don't really see for doing any major work in the form of heads or cams. Suspension and weight reduction would be ideal maybe an auto that's 8-10speed.

Stay safe while you're in that shit box and thank you for your service.
