Firstly I ordered from www.softwarefirst.com a Ferrari wheel. However it is taking ages to arrive, apparently still at the suppliers. So as my holidays are soon, YES I know im missing the release of GP3 Doh! I am considering stopping the order and buying from somewhere else. I would just like too know are there any better wheels than the Ferrari one, eg the almost identical AVB. or the Act-labs. -- Kieran www.pcracing.co.uk for GP3 and WSC

Although AVB MagTurbo & Ferrari came from same OEM company, AVB Magturbo made some improvement that Ferrari didn't have, like different button layout, clamping system, foot pedals, lacks the gear shifter. > Firstly I ordered from www.softwarefirst.com a Ferrari wheel.

I like AVB much more. If you go to Guillemot Web http://www.guillemot.com/northamerica/index.html forum section, many user complain their technical support service. I think if you buy something over $80, you will need a good service. Did you see any win2000 driver for Guillemot wheel? why AVB has win2000 driver but Guillemot doesn't?

Kieran, The clamping system is the same, identical, unless the pictures lie. I've seen 2 versions on the AVB. An older one with one screw and a new one with 2 screws. These are the same older and newer ones used on the Ferrari. The pedal levers are the same, the pads and base a little different but with the same textures. The buttons on the Ferrari are well laid out and hard to improve upon, but that's a matter of taste, I suppose. And of course, the Ferrari has the added stick shifter that's missing on the AVB. For $98 at buycomp.com, the Ferrari's price will be hard to beat, and you get the nifty little prancing horse logo. -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com "BILL" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8kljaj$aqe$[email hidden]... > Although AVB MagTurbo & Ferrari came from same OEM company, AVB Magturbo > made some improvement that Ferrari didn't have, like different button > layout, clamping system, foot pedals, lacks the gear shifter. > > > > Firstly I ordered from www.softwarefirst.com a Ferrari wheel.
