you can make it manual if you want just by unpluging one connector. I did it and love it now!

Offtopic, but go get in a wreck involving an airbag, then tell me what you think about them...

/Offtopic.


I like the diameter of the stock wheel, all the aftermarket wheels I've seen are too small, feel like you're driving a go-kart. I guess I'll stick with the stocker for now.

only thing bad about aftermarket steering wheels is that it is illegal to remove them and operate the car on public streets. if its a race car then fkk it. just throwing that out there

I like my factory t/a wheel, which is just another reason I chose my t/a over a camaro, but I wish that it was a little thicker. Maybe I'll try a wheel wrap and see how it comes out.

After market wheels like the Momo or the Grant are really nice. They feel a world different than your stocker, which might not make sense to anyone unless they've actually used one to compare. However, an air bag is something very important to me when I am DD'ing up and down the freeway. I'll never install a 'cool feeling/looking' wheel while I am DD'ing my Camaro.
