I'm not sure how rugged the T2 would be, being made of plastic.  How
long will the pedals last after slamming on the brakes repeatedly?

Bill.

I don't think the TSW will ever break! The T1's pedal springs snap on
a regular basis, but the TSW's are really solid. Go on, you won't
regret it. I don't know what extra the T2 has over the T1, but the TSW
gives you 10 man-hours worth of rock-solid engineering!

I'm a bit biased as I know Trevor Thomas through Compuserve, but I've
not heard any serious gripes about the TSW in SPORTSIMS, CI$'s
equivalent of this newsgroup, where he's got close on 100 very happy
customers!

  I just got a new T-2 and so far am very happy with it. I love
the feel of the wheel and the pedals are constructed in a many
that I feel adds strength for the long haul. It was hard for me
 to turn down the Circuit City price of $99.99 which makes it
$160.00 less expensive than the TSW. The TSW goes for $215.00
plus $45.00 shipping. I'm not knocking the TSW; if you got the
money then I'd go for it or even the Extreme Competition setup.
Of course some of us have other "trivial" concerns such as a
mortgage, food, and providing for a family which makes the T-2
very attractive.
  The only beef I have with the T-2 is those damn clamps which
make it a *** to move out of the way when I'm ready for
keyboard use. I wanted to give it more weight like the Extreme
Comp. so I cut a 3/4 inch, 15 lb slab of steel and contact
adhered it to the bottom of the steering console. Then I glued
a fitted piece of thin *** matting to the bottom of the
steel to make the whole thing scuff and skid proof. At 15 plus
lbs, this baby ain't goin nowhere. When I get finished racing I
just slide the whole unit around to the side of my desk... no
more clamps or suction cups.
  I think it all boils down to what you feel is the best setup
for the money and how much you can afford to invest.

Now, if only I can convince the wife that $250 is such a DEAL :-)
