Which do you prefer GP1 or T2 ?

Hi There, I`m looking at buying a steering wheel, my budget can only stretch to the Trustmaster range. I can`t decide on a GP1 or T2. I have heard the T2 is a good wheel, but the springs soon go on the peddles. I have seen the GP1 in my local computer shop but unfortunately it wasn`t hooked up to the computer, but the feel of the wheel and the hand throttle and brake felt quite good. Have you used both units? What do you prefer? Is it easy to accelerate, brake and change gear with the GP1? I`m sure I`m not the only one that could benefit from some advice on these two units, so please lets hear your comments. Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Dan. ---------------------------------------- -If it ain`t broke don`t fix it- ----------------------------------------

REPLY: I purchased the T2 about two weeks ago and think it's great. I had the pleasure to use Thrustmaters GP1 the other day. IMO the GP1 is better for more accurate control. The acceleration and braking are much tighter and intuitive than T2's pedals. They both incoprorate the same steering mechanism. IMO the feel of the GP1 is better and is cheaper to. Q.B.M.

Gas and brake on the wheel is not very realistic though! Dave Blackburn Spokane Wa
