A couple Z06 details I havent seen mentioned elsewhere .
I thought the pics and info were embargoed till Jan. 10th . RPM magazine has all the pictures and details that were posted on here and more in the current issue on the newstand .
-Front fenders are Carbon fiber
-GM finally has desiged a VERY cool steering wheel . The Z06 has a 3 spoke wheel , 20 mm smaller in diameter than the standard C6 . It looks much liek the Audi 3 spoke wheel , but with aluminum accents and vette logo in the center . It looked fantastic in the pics , as well as the 2 tone interior . Looks like an entirely new wheel , its not the CTS/STS 3 spoke wheel .

The wheel looks like they lifted it from the Solstice, which is something I have been ranting about all freakin year!
I think that it should trickle down to the regular C6. The melted Malibu wheel isnt very attractive.
And yeah, I hear 2 reports that the inner fender is CF, but MT said that the outer fender is CF, as well as the floorboards.

Until they come out with a digital steering wheel or a yoke type one, I really won't care. Grandma Wagon steering wheels 30" big, "cool"( ) 3 spoke designs, or after market 10" 2 spokes, they're all the same to me. Time to get the auto industry in gear with the future.

I much perfer the regular C6 steering wheel... I never understood why people complain about it.
This one is bland looking... nothing wrong with that, I suppose, but I really perfer a 4-spoke or 2-spoke to a 3-spoke wheel, so I can comfortably gran it with an overhand grip at the bottom of the wheel while freeway driving... can't do that at all with a 3-spoke.

500hp and many folks can't get over the steering wheel...
I guess I just don't get it. It could use a rudder from a rowboat for all I care, just gimme that motor...

Hey - All I'm saying is that I perfer the base C6 4-spoke steering wheel to the 3-spoke Z06 wheel, and I actually gave a good reason other than saying "it looks dumb" like most people post when saying they don't like something... and the only reason I even mention it it because so many people have blasted the 4-spoke wheel......

Not taking shots at ya, just explaining my inability to understand it.
Aestetics just ain't my strong point.
