I'd say the fact it's attached to a ZR1 makes it pretty special.

Sorry... I couldn't resist.

Thanks for the input. The larger grip due to the 3ZR stiched leather interior is what I was referring to. I am sure that the fact that is was the ZR1 did have somethiong to do with it.

I looked it up and there is nothing special about the ZR1 steering wheel, so it must be something else as others mentioned.
