quick question for you guys. What wheels are you using? I want to get a wheel and I know GT acedemy (if you make it to the finals) will only use the Logitech Driving Force GT wheel.

That one only has gas and brake pedals (no manual). However, it's much cheaper than say the Logitech G27 (which I really like but it's $$$). Any suggestions?

Are there any car packs coming out anytime soon?

G25/27 is a great wheel. The quality and feel far surpasses the DFGT wheel. I personally use the DFGT wheel though and have tons of fun with it. I have had it for years and beat the hell outta it weekly. Still holding up. For the price it cant be beat!!!! Best money/accessory i have bought for my ps3

On the topic of drifting, I do a lot of it and have some awesome custom tracks. Im pretty good and so is a friend of mine. Its all about the right setup and the right car. My favs are the Viper GTS and the Silvia K Dia selection.

Is driving MT using the G25/g27 realistic in feel and how the car engages, because if it's not then I'm not sure if it's worth it. I did hear it's a great wheel in feel and quality though

Also, The DFGT wheel, if you select MT for a car, how does that work?

The DFGT has paddle shifter and a sequential gearbox. The 25/27 have a six speed which require propper use of the clutch or you miss the gear. You can also stall it. Only prob is the gearbox feels cheap. Needs to feel more solid. Esp cause the rest of the wheel feels so bulletproof.

Can't wait!

ZMan8 · 05-01-2012, 02:10 PM

back to the wheel discussion I found the DF GT wheel for $99 on both amazon and best buy. I have $50 gift card to best buy so really that wheel would only cost me $50. is $99 the normal price or do they occasionally go on sale??

The G27 wheel is $230 on amazon. Is this a good price?

Also, for the hard core guys, eventually I would want a stand for the wheel and pedals + seat that resembles a car better. Any recommendatoins that don't involve spending a fortune (some I saw go for $600). For the time being I will attach the wheel to a desk and pedals on the floor up against the wall.

Both of those prices are darn good ZMan!!!

tough choice! I wonder if should get the GT wheel for now and learn on it while being in budget and then upgrade to a g27 in the future if I want to (then I can do split player with 2 wheels)

I can't apply the bb gift card to the g27 because best buy doesn't seem to carry them.

MC · 05-01-2012, 05:41 PM

the G27 is a higher quality wheel but with the DFGT you can switch settings in race and it has the cool GT logo i liked it really for those 2 reasons... and for $30 you can get the paddels that are made by granturgismo.com

to me i would use the gift card and get the DFGT for $50

Thanks for the advice! I think I'll just get that for now and see how it goes.

Thanks MC and Alchemy, rep coming your way
