I have owned a T2 in the past, can't get on with the pedals and thought this looks just the job. I assume the paddles behind the wheel are analogue? Is it just a basic T2 box and wheel with paddles added? Comments appreciated. "There are NO coincidences" - Jeffrey Sinclair

I had the T1 so I can't compare the two, but the box is similar in layout, just no shifter. Yes the paddles are analog and work great. I always had a problem with pedals. They were always too close together, and were very hard to set up and then store again. The GP1 sits beside my {C table and mounts in a jiffy. I use it for all my racing sims. The steering action is very smooth and gives me great control. I highly recommend it. -=Don=-

Never tried a T2, always have a homemade wheel with ch pedals; anyway this week I bought a GP1: the wheel is great, peddles abit less, but I'm using them as clutch in GP2: great starts!; it's only a *** to calibrate under Win 95, but after that MTM runs really fine: I dropped my laps by 4 secs!, and even more in NFS! -- Alberto Manassero

They were always too close together, I have a solution for that. I too had a T1 and didn't liked the pedal setup. So I unscrewed the brake pedal and screwed it on the other side. I too. This is what I have now, and it's great! Regards, Sbastien Dcarie

No discussion that a GP1 is better or more fun than a keyboard, but if i had the choice between a GP1 and a T2, not looking at the financial aspect, WHICH ONE SHOULD I BUY ???? plz post/mail some reactions/answers, SuperDave

For the $30 price difference go with the T2, go to Radio Shack buy some buttons and attach them to wheel for shifting. Makes the whole thing lots of fun. PP Small
