I have heard it is not, mainly b/c the shroud is also different. Different shape. However, if you hear differently, I'd like to know. The air bag would have to be moved or a new one purchased - could get unreasonably expensive.
How about 06 HVAC *****?

Actually I like the 05 model better, looks nicer also. With the 06, its shaped like a tee. When I'm cruising I always hold my one hand at the center bottom of the wheel, just a comfort thing for me. I can't do that with the 06.
I still don't understand 05 owners wanting to put 06 parts on their stock vette???

If the ***** are the same size it should be a easy and inexpensive mod which can easily be put back to stock... gona go search to see if they ***** are in fact the same size and interchangeable

It is so great that we now have all of your opinions on which wheel is better and why 
....... So do any of you have a real contribution to this thread such as does the new wheel fit without issue? New airbag necessary? Cost of the new wheel/airbag? It is great you like your steering wheel so much, I for one think it is way to big.
