    Default OMFG Porsche Racing Wheel

    Right freakin here.



    its a authentic Porsche 911 Turbo Steering wheel turned into a PC/PS2/PS3 Racing wheel.

    Highlights include:
    -Full-size Wheel
    -Strong, realistic and silent force feedback
    -Wireless Pedals w/ 100hrs of battery life
    -Separate Shifter
    -Genuine Porsche Materials
    -LCD Status Display

    Check out the rest on the site. Though its $350, the features combined with the fact that only real Porsche fans would buy it, it is a justified price.

    Enjoy,
    Indybird

    All I have to say is this:

    =|

    There is no justification for a $350 wheel set. none. Not even an authentic Porsche 911 wheel/shifter.

    First Thoughts: Freaking awesome!

    Second Thoughts: How much??

    Third Thoughts: Hardcore Porsche fans, who have the cash to spare, will still buy it.

    Final Thoughts: Needs to be cheaper. Maybe $249, preferably $199 or lower.
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    Yeah it is a little expensive, but if I had $350 that I wasn't spending on a new GFX card I'd buy that wheel soooo fast.

    Really depends on if you'd use it and enjoy it so you get your $350 out of it. I personally don't play many racing games but would love to set up a wheel for FPS games and driving jeeps and stuff.

    Here's the thing.

    I:

    1. Own a Porsche.
    2. Drive a Porsche
    3. Love my Porsche (a lot)
    4. Don't play racing games that much
    5. Could never justify the $350 price tag for something I would normally buy for $75.

    Turning angle can be adjusted in the wheel to 900°, 360° or 180° or in 1° steps by software
    Is this refering to how far the wheel turns lock to lock?

    The only thing about pc or ps2/3 / xbox wheels is that they are only like 180 degrees lock to lock. That one would be real nice if it really has a farther range of movement.

    With most of the ones I use, you turn it 90 degrees or so and you hit the end. I just would like more leway I suppose. Any one know of a pc steering wheel setup like this. And I do prefer to have the shifter setup as well.

    That is nice and I would love to have 350 to drop on something like that. Oh well.

    It's almost an identical setup as Logitech's G25 setup



    ^ 900° Rotation 2˝ times around lock to lock

    You can pick them up for 180 refurbished on eBay. 250ish New on eBay and 300 from Logitech.

    yea, i feel the same as omega. Plus i rather be in my Porsche and drive it and waste about a good less than $150 of gas and drive to my hearts extent. or buy 2 new back tires.
