But what the hell did they do to the rest of the car? Those wheels, the color, what the hell.

Anyone have any details on this?
And does a c6 steering wheel fit on a c5? If so then we know a c6 is definitely doable. do you have any info on that car above?

No info on that car above. You could try contacting the dealership with it, but I doubt they'd know anything either.

Why would you want you want the vette wheel? It looks just as enormous as the stock one.

because they are thicker, cooler design, higher quality, and some are smaller diameter.

Well I'd be happy with a c5, but ideally I'd want a c6 in there. So that's why i was asking if the c6 is easy to match with a c5, cause the c5 can be done, I just want some details. I may just give my dad a column from a junkyard and a c6 wheel and see if his company can machine something to get it to work.

But like previously said, unless you strip the airbag (which i so wanna do but don't wanna because insurance reasons) you're stuck with the stock wheel, and the vette wheels are a bit nicer and still have the airbags

I beleave that it would be just a simple R&R. Both should have the same parts in them. It would be easier ti do if you don't have the radio controls in the wheel. The only bad thing is the wheels are big $$$

Not even Jesus himself could resurrect as many times as this thread has.

Interesting idea though.

Random thought but the C6 Vette steering wheel is now being used in almost every car with a bowtie (minus Aveo and Impala), so for those of you with money out there you can use a Cobalt, Malibu, or HHR wheel and get the same result. Or a Saab 9-5, 9-3, Solstice/Sky, G6, Astra, Aura. Vette wheel I'm sure is more expensive than half of these car's, except maybe the Saab's.

I like the Grand Prix GXP steering wheel better. I wonder if it could be used?

Thanks Latindragons.. I'm still restoring it.. I just gave up on a different steering wheel. However, I did buy a used one off of eBay and did a little mod to it. I like the overall look. It came out rather nicely:
