if you happen to have logitech G25/ G27 pedals you can use those and save $149.. or in a few weeks the cheaper regular CSR pedals will be out

i got my tracking # for my wheel today... i get it the 12th...so one day after launch.. will post reviews and vids

there is one made by madcatz thats $249 for wheel and pedals..but thats pretty expensive for what it is....

^^ what's the difference between the 911 GT2 wheel and the CSR besides the badging -- they start at the same price?

Did you buy the pedals too or was it $422 for just the wheel + shipping?

422 for the wheel and pedals ( $249 + 149) since i use paddle shift in real life anyway i opted not to get the shifter for the extra 59....

i think next month the other pedals are coming out and will most likely be $100 or less.. but for $50 more i just got the ones that were available now

Zaggeron · 10-10-2011, 09:47 PM

Hmmm, I thought the 249 was in Euros which at the current exchange rate would make it $341 in US dollars ...

MC · 10-10-2011, 10:10 PM

this should take you to the US check out page.... mine was 421.80 for everything...

Zaggeron · 10-10-2011, 10:14 PM

Thanks. I was looking at the German page for it and it was showing 249EUR.

MC · 10-10-2011, 10:18 PM

yea i mean either way its high as the extra cost for the pedals is what sucks...but i justified it as i play GT5 alot and it works for both... and its something i really enjoy so i went ahead and did it....

i got my racing cockpit for $380 shipped so i mean not counting the systems im gonna have less than 1K in a really nice set up so im happy

Zaggeron · 10-10-2011, 10:24 PM

What cockpit did you get again? It was some British company right? Do you think it's better than the playseats?

Nevermind. That was Alchemy that had the Brit seat. You had the GTR

MC · 10-10-2011, 10:35 PM

i got this

(the GTS model)

Home

it was 319 on ebay and i made an offer of 289 and they took it...but shipping was like $90... i just looked and dont see that exact model on ebay only the cheaper GT

as far as how it compares to playseat or something..ive never used one... i just thought this one looked really cool and sleek... the leather seat is really nice i mean a ricer would love to have it in his civic... the base for the wheel is sturdy aswell.. it has almost no play.... what i like is it has pre drilled holes for mounting wheels to it with screws..so i will be taking advantage of that tomorrow

Can't wait! Been rocking this setup since Forza 2 ($50 trip to Lowes and about 2 hours in the garage), would like to pick up a Fanatec setup since I'm already on my 2nd wireless wheel on this seat. Posting this makes me miss the Triumph TR7 I got the seat from #sigh
