Quite impressive how you call him childish, while making a childish snarky remark that he couldn't afford one two years ago.

Nice work!!!

More like the "hourly steering wheel" thread.

Really makes me wonder what makes people tick.

I always use a cover anywho's, that in itself changes the look, feel, grip to some degree......and bigger/thicker is better for me personally. Mines fairly unique as far a grip design goes and fits the wheel and car great.......

I also like seeing the word Camaro in its center as model indentification that seperates it from the pack. Too Bad GM hadn't added SS to the SS model steering wheels or at least somewhere in the drivers view, incorporated on the door panels or at minimum dash area.

it does have an SS on the bottom center of the wheel.

Many pro reviews hated on the 10/11 wheel. That's why they changed it. Im happy they made it cheaper because the wheels look is not that important. What they do for performance is what I care about...my wheel is fine so all the 10/11 guys can get over it. If you don't have a 12 then it shouldn't matter what they do, but hey, I know you have to complain about something.

I heard that the new steering wheel adds, like, 10rwhp. It also makes the car 4.3 lbs. Lighter.

After a couple of days driving the 2012, I liked the 2011 steering wheel better.

It's likely because:

2011 came back further. With long legs, it made driving more comfortable.
2011 is definitely better looking. This one belongs in a cheap base model, not a sports car.

I will be changing it out in the near future. I think I will spring for a DSV carob fiber version as soon as I find a good deal on a 2011 air brig/horn.

I'll keep my 2010 wheel thank you very much. The 2012 wheel is in my wife's 2010 Equinox where it belongs.
