Don't count on GT5 having it. Right now they don't even have the rights to have Porsche at all. Apparently a while back EA inked an exclusive deal with Porsche and have been charging an arm and a leg for rights for others to use Porsche in driving games.

I think this deal is set to expire soon and is one of the reasons I have heard that GT5 is being delayed for so long is so they can include Porsche. But, after a year of delays and excuses, i'm not holding my breath.

Well you could always step-up to a better Porsche..... a 951.

What about steering wheel setups. Anyone have an opinion on these? I don't like the idea of the hand controller but
it looks like you have to spend some bucks to find a half decent wheel / pedal setup.

I still have my fingers crossed that the 928 will be released as DLC later on.

Don't go cheap on a racing wheel. I bought a no name "bargin wheel" online (Mad Catz) and it is a total POS. The system does not recognize it even though it is "Designed for PS3". You have to turn the wheel past 90deg before the car even starts to turn. It is completely useless.

I'm waiting and getting the G27 Logitech once I can save up a little cash.

Yep that's what info I'm getting. MSoft have designed their wheel for Forza and no other aftermarket wheels work or properly. Is this a con job or is it true.
Is the MS Forza wheel decent enough?

You mean half the weight / size of a 928 with better handling and more power than the extra doohickey 4 cylinders on our clunky V8 motors?

FIXED.

I must be the odd man out. I own two 928's and drive the all the time. In "fantasy world" I want to drive something else, like a Zonda. I cannot remember the last time I picked any Porsche in a racing simulation. I drive them all the time in real life......give me an F1 car!!!

Yeah, but I want to drive my car at the ring and doing so would be a little tough in real life.

Looks like the MS wheel is very hard to come by down here. Anyone heard of this one?
