The standard wheel seems great to me.
There's been ALOT of discussion on this subject, both pro and con.
Just saw the new Z06 wheel and that does look great!
Assuming Chevy had an affordable price on swapping, I'd get that wheel installed.

This just made me grin. We are so paranoid about letting others wash, change oil, etc.. on our babies, but we're the first to start riping things off and/or adding to it. I just got a little humored.

I'm not thrilled with the stock wheel either.

I've looked at several C5's that appear to have the same steering wheel as the C6. I hate to admit such naivete on the steering wheel subject but I never understood why all the fuss and that it was described as a POS?

I agree. My comment about the STS-V steering wheel was negative, not in favor of. I personally like the C6 wheel, I trade my hand positions both above and below the horizontal supports. I find both positions very comfortable depending on the type of driving I'm doing.

With all the things you can mod on your c6
Why F with the Steering wheel
Espically with what the airbag module costs
I bet for the new zo6 whell it will run 600 to 1100 $$$
Wouldent you monney be well spent somewhere else!
