If you take car racing seriously, then you must get this racing wheel, is the closes feeling to real racing.
I know they mention 900 degrees of motion on the wheel but I wish it was less. The wheel, shifter paddles and pedals are of exceptional quality, I love them. but hey its cheaper than racing for real and less real parts to break. The force feedback is strong and quite realistic feeling, the motor does have a whir but you don't notice it as you're racing. So I researched and researched, considered cheaper options but ended up with this wheel.
The glowing reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere (gaming forums). I'm not crazy about it and I don't use it at all. Why. Theres no real instructions for consoles so I had to do a bit of Googling to figure out what the heck I was doing and there is no option for this wheel in GT5P's menu but rest assured, its one of them I just forget which.
As I'm racing I don't like having to turn the wheel so much.So those few faults I mentioned aside and the fact that you MUST build or buy yourself a racing seat and frame to go along with it, this is an excellent setup. Plus you're a lot quicker with the paddles anyhoo. Its way too loose feeling for me and feels nothing like a shifter should, theres no resistance/feedback. The shifter is ehhh.
I have 2 manual cars btw. All together you're looking at $400+ for a proper setup not including the game, the system, the tv, etc.
The controls are not corresponding to those in the options menu. Do not buy this for PS3 especially if you are looking for a wheel easily compatible with Gran Turismo. It is not one of the indicated wheels and comes with PC installation instructions. Sure, pedals aren't metal, you don't get a clutch pedal and the steering wheel isn't leather wrapped but the GT steering wheel is a better value for most gamers.
My Roush 427R Mustang sits in its garage because I'm inside playing. This wheel, a proper mount and seat for it, and Gran Turismo are a must have. If you like driving, you've got to have this. Pricy yes, but cheaper than than the real cars. Yes, this wheel's worth it.
best steering wheel sim setup I've seen to date. (or at least under 1000 dollars) and the 6spd with a REAL slippable clutch makes it all worth it.
