I have three questions about the NASCAR Super Sport. My
first question is an obvious one and that is, is the wheel
set any good? Number two, does the steering wheel have any
padding. And number three, are the foot pedals of good
quality or are they just made of cheap plastic.
I have one I use for NROS (Stupid N2 can't use the MSFFW).
It's better, overall, than the Nascar Pro IMHO.
The pedals are _much_ improved.
Tension is lighter than the TMPro, and this WILL***you up for a
while. It also seems to have a bit more travel, which will also mess
ya' up for a while.
One thing I don't like is that is STILL uses ThrustMasters stupid
single-screw attachment for the wheel (do they ever listen to their
customers?), and the whell rocks on the shaft. I find this most
annoying...

It's actually not N2's fault: it's MS's fault they don't support DOS
games with their FF Wheel. That (and the fact I hate MS) are reaons
enough for me to avoid that wheel.

Well, accordint to Trips and Cisco, it works just fine and dandy...
I have no idea what their secret is.

1) This wheel set is awesome for the price! I actually find the
precision of control with the Super Sport to be superior to its more
expensive cousin the NASCAR Pro. The wheel has a new "Stainless steel
wheel shaft - set in a lubricated stainless steel bushing, the shaft
provides very durable, low-friction steering. " This makes for a very
smooth steering control.
2) The steering wheel is well padded and feels almost like a real
racing wheel would feel (in a F1 or CART car, not a NASCAR wheel).
3) The pedals may be made of plastic, but it is not a "cheap" plastic,
nor is it of cheap design. I have found the precision of the pedals on
the Super Sport to once again far outshines its cousin, NASCAR Pro. The
pedals are placed in a very good angle and provide smooth application
(especially important in GPL).
The only thing missing is a "stick shift". All shifting can be done via
the "flipper" paddles mounted behind the wheel, or with the buttons on
the front of the wheel.
