Do you have a wheel&pedals???

I'd like to buy the t2 or F1/Nascar steering wheel.

But is it like real steering?? Without the force feedbakc ofcourse :-)

Thanks!

   Am I nuts, or is the GP1 actually a better wheel than the T2?  I
realize the T2 has the gas/brake console and that really adds a lot
to the game (I would like to add one on) but as far as the steering
column goes, I think the GP1 is better; it's much tighter than the
T2's that _I_ have checked out so it really feels like a car w/o
power steering.  The T2 feels loose!

I think most people would agree that the difference is like night and
day for racing. It can be okay with a joystick; it's an absolute BLAST
with a steering wheel.

If you are goiing to get a wheel, and its going to be one of these 2, I
would say get the F1/Nascar, you wont regret it. (unless the springs break
of course).

The NASCAR Pro is better than T2 and GP1 (as far as TIGHTER feel and better
grip).

The NASCAR PRO pedals are also backed by a VERY intense spring - the brake is
harder to press than my REAL car.

Save your money and get an Extreme Competition Control Inc. Competition
Driving system.  ECCI-CDS.  It cost $600 or so but it will last a lifetime
of playing extreme driving sims like GP2, CPR, Screamer2 and CART racing.

Trust me.  I can break a Trustmaster controller in a couple weeks.  I went
through 3 sets of Trustmasters before I got the CDS.  The CDS is built like
a rock with Billet aluminum staft and ball bearings.

My friend tried my CDS steering wheel and he ordered one too.

Yes it is that good.   Check it out C/net review.

There is a link there to buy the setup.

NascrPro wheel $99, after rebate.  I changed from a GP1,  After building a
platform to tilt the pedals forward, it works just fine.  I especially like
the feel of the wheel.
