is this the closest thing to real racing
Since gran turismo 5 is coming out november 24th there is a lot of talk about wheels. I think this is the only legitimate racing wheel with a clutch and 6speed

nice.. didnt even know they bumped the time frame from dec. to nov.. got to check out that steering wheel in person.
first company to come out with paddle shifters w/ gearshifter wins..too bad that steering wheel is only mac, PC compatible though.

Confusing thread is confusing.
The first post has a video of a G27, but a link to a Momo racing wheel.
The second post says the wheel is only Mac/PC compatible, yet my brother uses his G27 on his PS3 (and it's fully supported in GT5).
My brain is melting.

The G27 is the second best racing wheel behind this wheel:

If you want to simulation race, sign up for iRacing. It is far more realistic physics wise than any arcade/console racing game.

my buddy has G25 (older version of G27) and it's badass. each pedals have different pressures (clutch, brake, and gas) steering feedback is pretty strong. only problem i had with that system was if you shift too fast it didn't register well.

Also because a few of the models are universally supported (Xbox, PS3 and PC) whereas the logitech wheels are PS3/PC only due to MS not supporting standard USB plug-and-play in the xbox. Go figure

I've had a G27 since April when Best Buy blew them out for $150 and I managed to snag one. I've hardly used it because I haven't had a game that supported it. I can't wait to get GT5.
Here is a teaser for the new Williams-Toyota FW31 F1 car.

It is a lot harder than it looks to be fast.
