They're about the same price as the Logitech but way better quality.

AND it works for 360/PS3/PC.

The Fanatec wheels are AWESOME. But the entire setup for the standard CSR will run you over $400.

$249 for the wheel
$59.95 for the manual shifter (if you wanted a 6 speed)
$149.99 for the pedals

Still thinking I might order the set...

Or you could cheap out and buy the $30 standard Porsche pedals and the regular $30 Porsche 6 speed

all the races I ran with only abs on and nothing else assisting. Simulation for every option. Last two races I did with it on "professional" settings except the opponents skill set to medium (that includes manual with clutch) using controller.

yeah, abs slows you down in reality. If you end up playing a lot i'd recommend dumping that, and experiment with feeding gas while braking, and getting downshifts correct/ honkering on the brakes the right way. It's actually a lot eaiser to get turned in. I was saying everyone ought to be using simulation steering, because that is where so much improvement has been made.

x2 its all over the place, pretty awesome tho. Does anyone else feel like the graphics are not much better than Forza 3? or is that because its just the demo?

Man I disagree, I think it looks way better than gt5 and it has all the cars at once.

I think the graphics are so much better, the lighting and the paint looks way better, and the graphics are more crisp. The most noteable thing IMO is the sensation of speed far more real than any other console game. Race a stock d class in forza 3, then race the stock d class muscle in the demo.

Totally agree. Running it in full 1080p on a nice big tv it looks absolutely stunning. The cars have been completely redone and went from about 400,000 polygons in Forza 3 to over 1 million polygons per car in 4. Insane stuff.
