Anyone know of any racing games that you can actually stall the car in/where shift quality actually matters? (like if you have one of those logitech racing wheels like the g25/g27)

I don't know of any that will let you stall off the top of my head, but if you want more realism, Fanatec makes a racing wheel setup with a clutch and a six speed shifter. Kind of pricy though.

I don't think there are ANY games that will actually let you stall..
that's not "fun"

One of these would be cool.

No personal experience but I know Dale Jr is into it.

Yes, there are sims that will let you stall, although it is not necessarily the default setting. GTR2 for example you can turn auto-clutch off and then it will allow you to stall say after a spin, and let you screw up gear changes.

As I recall iRacing simulates a baulked gear change and grinding gears but I don't think you can stall. Maybe you can and I just haven't encountered it yet.

jeff needs more suggestions

What do you mean shifting matters? I get in my z and press the X button and I go forwards. Triangle for reverse. And I never use my peripheral vision while I drive.

I'd write an angry letter to the game devs then.
