Anyone install a C6 Corvette steering wheel on an A6?

Anyone install a C6 Corvette steering wheel?
The Vette wheel has up and down tap shift on both sides of the wheel and is a bit smaller, seems like it would be a good swap.

I would love to find this out. I hate the Camaro wheel, but I hate the 2012 wheel more. The Vette (and Sky, Solstice, etc.) wheel seems better to me.

Heres a link to a custom made one .



It's ok, just like the camaros .

There has to be something better out there .

Not worth the $700

Just remember the airbag is specifically designed for the car it is in.

If you swap a wheel you should still have an airbag that will deploy in a crash, but you will not have one with the optimal size of the bag, engineered tethering or venting to make it work well for your car..................and you.

So please consider this when deciding what to do.

The Camaro, to my knowledge, is one of the few that has a bolt holding it in. Most like the Corvette, have a stud sticking out in the wheel and they are held on by a nut.

Unless the Vette steering wheel has changed since say the 05-08 Vette's I don't think that steering wheel will go with the design of the Camaro well and it's also a Basic GM steering wheel found on any GM vehicle form 05-present.

The link said theres a $250.00 core built in to the price. So really, $500.00 ain't bad.

This is a terrible idea (in my honest opinion). The C6 Corvette steering wheel is the same old "corporate" steering wheel used in the old Aveo, old Malibu, and Cobalt (i think), not to mention other vehicles. And Number 3 is exactly right in what he is saying... there is much more engineering that you are not taking into account.

Plus, I do not know how familiar you are with the C6... but if you are looking for quicker shifts... Its not gonna happen. Even IF you get it all to hook up right, it wont make a difference.

Why do you hate the Camaro wheel? I like it, but I have large hands.

I live on the edge of the Santa Monica mountains in West LA. I frequently walk a couple of streets up the hill to pick up a trail to a small warerfall. For the past few months I've walked by this remodel that was going on with an extra single garage as part of the add-on. Yesterday I walked by the house and there was a race ready Porsche Carrera parked in the middle of the two car garage and I could see the one car garage had a lift and a little office kind of thing off to the side with a computer, TV, trophy case and Porsche posters on the wall. I really wanted to check it out but didn't see anyone around to ask for permission. Later in the day, I was driving my Camaro back from the store and thought I'd take another look. I drove up to the remodel and there was a guy, about 50 years old, in the "office". I stopped my car parallel to his driveway He heard the exhaust and walked over to the car and ask if he coul help me. I said yes, I'd like to check out your car and garage. He smiled and said sure.
Bottom line, I got a great tour, of his car and garage shop. (He's raced SCCA for 30 years, thus the trophy case) I was so envious of his garage, tools, etc. but then he says. OK, you got your tour, can I take a short drive in your Camaro. No choice but to say yes so we take a spin down to the beach and back. We exchanged phone numbers and this am he calls and asks if I want to go to a track day with him in two weeks. Said he couldn't let me drive his racer but there were always Porsche "beaters" at these track days and he'd make sure I got a chance to do a few laps in one of them.
See, "the farmer and the cowboy can be friends".

The rim profile is odd, to say the least. A round profile would be more comfortable.

If I ever did a swap like this I wouldn't even connect the airbag.
