I wouldn't support that shady company even if I could justify it.

+1, ever since they first started hocking that thing I was skeptical. I STILL can't believe they started shipping out unfinished products and selling them as a finished product...and it was mostly to the people who put their cash down early. Just wrong!

Aren't you guys putting yourselves at a disadvantage? I heard in the past that a steering wheel will give you an advantage in a racing sim. Is the Logitech G27 supported by the Xbox 360?

I certainly don't feel disadvantaged, I don't think that famous or Waldo do either. Lotheron, Arby, and blowfish all use wheels to tremendous effect, for me personally I do better when the controller (which stinks because I'd rather use my wheel).

While I use a wheel, I believe the two control methods are very similiar. While wheel users are at an advantage in long sweeping turns, controller users and go from left wheel lock to right wheel lock much quicker.

It all evens out and you get used to whatever method you prefer.

Unfortunately, none of the G series Logitech wheels support the 360. Only a discontinued DriveFX model that wasn't received very well IMO. The MS wheel isn't the best, but for the price it isn't bad either. It can be had for $80 online these days with ease.

Fun racing last night, I really liked the car Loth. Sorry I had to jet but I told my wife I'd get off early, we had some stuff to do.

So, next week is blowfish's pick, I assume he's not racing with us (got a status update for us fishy?), I assume CrissCross isn't racing with us and I've no idea who Cienja is...we've got two options. We can skip those 3 and skip to GD or we could just make a community car choice, although methinks we ought to just skip.

Also, if we do skip that would make my car choice in two weeks, I'll be out of town so I'll have to swap with someone else. If we make a community choice that would make my choice in three weeks and I'll be back for it. Or you could all be cruel and just skip over me...which would make me a sad panda. Any way it works for me.

I'm looking at the list and unless I'm wrong here would be the list:



2007 Audi TT Coupé S-Line
1993 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec
1997 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec
2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II
2007 Audi S5
2004 Bentley Continental GT


I'm probably wrong on some of these I'll edit as I'm told otherwise.

Edit: Removed obviously not 2 door cars.
