You can send that in and get it any thickness you want.

To me it seems as though the suede for which is somewhat slippery and not at all padded for fingers to dig in and grasp + the small diameter of were I hold on is a hindrance as i do not feel I get a really good grip when aggressively cornering. With having a manual its enhanced due to not always able to hold with 2 hands.

I truly feel the wheel should have been leather especially since its not cushioned, Anyone else feel this way?

Let's trade. I'll send you my leather one

I've been disappointed in the ZL1 steering wheel mostly from the feel of the stitching. I did find that the wheel is awesome at the track when wearing my gloves.

Bingo. It's actually a "track" feature.

I like the wheel on my ZL1.

I associate this suede type wheel with upmarket. My GT3 has a similar feel and cost about 2X more. Got used to it in 7 years and wouldn't want to go back to leather.

The only thing I don't like about the wheel is where the flat bottom hits the spoke. When autox'ing... it is harder to grip because the wheel is almost flush with the spoke from behind and relatively thick. The flat part is fine, but I would rather have a bit of an indent in back for better grip.

ps. hard to find complaints about this car... so this is reaching...

Yup 1 thing I have to dislike about my Z is the steering wheel thickness I have big hands and it feels real thin to me compaired to my last 4 performance cars. Hellcat wheel felt best to me even the CTSV has the thickness I liked but it was lacking the flat bottom. The ZL1 wheels is real similar to the GT350 in thickness. With that said I'm starting to get use to it.
