Wheels: Nascar Pro vs. Nascar Super Sport?

Does anyone have experience with these? How are they?

I'm looking for a wheel in this price range (<$100), and they both seem like
good options. The Super Sport has paddles and two more buttons, and is
cheaper, but I can't find any reviews of it. The local stores also don't
carry it, so I can't check out the feel. (Checked out the Pro, though... I
liked the feel of that..)

Or am I way off base with both?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Keith

For the price range you are talking about, I feel that either is the
best option.  The following is my response to a similar question in
r.a.s. under the Subject: wheels

Both have separate axis for the pedals.  The Pro allows them to be
combined via a swith on the pedal base.  The Super Sport only allows
them to be combined via Windows software.  Therefore any purely DOS game
that requires combined axis for the pedals will not work with the Super
Sport.

The steering feel is completely different between the Pro and the Super
Sport.  The Pro has progressive tension as you turn the wheel.  While
the Super Sport if fairly smooth until you start to reach full stop.

I personally prefer the Super Sport over the Pro (especially because of
the Super Sport's more precise pedal action).

If you want a stick shift or require combined pedal axis for DOS games,
then the Pro is the wheel of choice.  If neither of these are important
to you, I would recommend the Super Sport.
