Is a 2017 slingshot made better than a 16 ? Or would you consider them the same?

base model to base model, IMHO are the same across the years with no major engine or suspension changes - if you start sliding up the model scale you can find some differences depending on what add ons have been included
The only this I can say is the early models 15 -16 had some more frame components that were removed in the later years to save weight.
But I do not see any other major differences except for options.
get a base and have it your way.

Do you think that the 15 frame is stiffer?

No I haven't seen anything to say there was any less strength - just something we noticed.
Polaris has to keep weight under a certain point to keep it as a motorcycle, they were pretty much maxed out in the early models and because of that they couldn't add on many options. They started a bunch of changes to reduce weight and that was one area.
I see said the blind man...

interesting. Do you have any detailed information as to what exactly was removed?
One area Polaris modified was the area where the side panels mount. The 2015’s have a stronger & better design there.
Reduced the size of the battery.
