C8 Square Steering Wheel on 2SS
Am I the only one that wants the C8 square style wheel on my SS? I've seen the carbon fiber ones but none look anywhere as good as the Square C8 wheel.

All new electrical system in the C8. I doubt anything would work. Plus the airbag is sized and tuned for the Corvette.

That was the one thing I didn't like or warm up to.

Do you prefer the C8 or the traditional look and style of a corvette? I’ve noticed that those that prefer the traditional style also think the wheel is ugly. I wasn’t into corvette until the C7 body style and now the C8 has me completely sold.

Well, I'm a big fan of the C4 94-96. I owned a 96 and loved it. It was like getting into a fighter jet. Loved the C5 Corvette from day one, I bought a new one in 2004. I never was a fan of the C6 Corvette, I kept a buddies here at the house getting it ready for some shows. He told me to drive it as much as I wanted because it just set in his garage all the time so I got some good seat time.. (it's in my signature picture next to my SS in the Corvette Museum shown below) I'm a big fan of the C7 Corvette, I almost bought one when I got the 2017 Camaro SS. I was just tired of climbing down into a car and I was ready for a change so the SS won out. Now the C8, I like what I see for the most part but I'm holding back my comments until I get to see one in person. I will say the only things I'm not sure about is the wheel and rear end. I hope things get back on track soon and I can take one for a spin.

I like the C8 mid-engine body style. However, the new square steering wheel is really ugly IMO.

I am not a fan of the steering wheel either, but the Vette overall is quite a car! Saw one at the dealership when shopping for my Camaro, it was drool worthy! Seems to be one hell of a car.
I just can't do such acrobatic moves to get in and out of a car anymore, so Camaro for me! 20 years younger I might have gone for the C8. |

Not a fan of the C8 Square wheel. To each their own. Only thing you can do is research, and perhaps buy one and see how it works out. Usually steering wheel controls are the difference as they may use different pin outs or connector.

Yeah, I'm personally not a fan of the square steering wheel or the praying mantis-ish look of the C8 in general.

The square steering wheel is ugly to me but the new Corvette looks real good. I was driving yesterday around the city doing some errands in my ZL1 and saw one turn in front of me onto a 4 lane road ahead at a big intersection with slow traffic lights. I tried to catch up but with the other traffic lights and slow drivers I lost it. Wanted to see it closeup as it still had the drive out dealer paper tag.
