I just spent 100 bucks or so at best buy for a cheap mad cat 2 wheel and pedals and really like am enjoying the increased control and more natural control style. I'm tempted to spend a few hundred bucks on a good dim level wheel and some pedals. The paddle shifter is fine for my purposes and I think a manual shifter and clutch would require a dedicated stand up cockpit setup to work.

The wheel has defiantly made it easier for a Xbox racing noob to turn better laps. My feet just "know" how to feather the throttle better than my fingers and forget about trying to manual shift on the controller. With the wheel I don't even think about shifting it just comes naturally.

In other words. I'm loving it all and am amped about horizon.
i actually was half tempted to start searching for like legit racing setup for xbox like steering wheel with paddles, pedals, and everything but knowing me i'd have $500 in it without trying lol

i usually am a monster at racing games but never got into forza 4 too much. i'll probably buy horizon since like i said earlier its a cross between forza nad NFS it feels like.
