I'm waiting and getting the G27 Logitech once I can save up a little cash.
After having a G27,I now have this and it blows the Logitech away.

You know, you have to draw the line somewhere. Also, in terms of performance, I have read mixed reviews. Some people said there was really no improvement over the logitech wheel.

But, I have not used either, so I can't really comment.

That does look like a bit of fun. What sort of costs?

I have the 911 turbo wheel, which is the 1st wheel they released. IIRC correctly it was $349 at the time. The feel of the wheel and the precision of the steering is amazing. THe pedals are a bit plastic, but I have the whole set up mounted to a Playseats EVO racing chair and it works perfectly. Bluetooth for the PS3 is spot on. It's wireless so no need to have wires to the Ps3. I currently have only used on GT5, and GT4. THe one drawback is that it is only for PS3 and the driving games that are compatible are only a few.

I wish I had taken pictures of my setup for GT3. I built a frame on wheels to which I mounted a Honda Accord seat. Fore and aft adjustment worked. I had the Logitech wheel mounted to a dash board and the pedals were in the footwell. had the whole thing on wheels so I could move it around. Very fun but I got mad and threw it away after all of the laser tracking errors Sony wouldn't cover. Cut the PS2 up with a bandsaw I was so mad and mailed the parts back to Sony telling them what I thought of their quality and customer service on known defects.

Another Satisfied Customer...lol.

I'd love to do some sort of similar setup but that would not fly with wifey. Sometimes you need to let them win a few battles so long as you win the war.
