Default Upgrading 2005-2007 to 2008 steering?

We've all heard reports of the improved steering in the 08's.

This was my biggest problem with the C6. The steering is just lousy, for lack of a better term. Alignment helped a lot for me, but it's still not there.

What would it take to upgrade the parts to '08 specs? Anyone have any inside knowledge? Or will I have to buy an '08 to get the effect?

I'm just guessing here, but the changes were probably made to the rack and pinion, and possibly the steering shaft. Personally, I would probably live with it. If you can't live with it, you'd be money ahead to just get an '08.
