Fanatec GT3 RS V2 wheel or Logitech G27 ?

[Iratherwalk]

Looking to pick up a new wheel and want to hear advices from my fellas.
I kind of like the look and ALCANTARA feel of the GT3 RS wheel from Fanatec but not sure how it's performance compare to the respectable G27. Any input to help me out? Thanks in advance!

 

[oohhh yeah]

GT3 RS > G27. How much would the GT3 package cost you? If it's too much just go for T500 or stick with standard G27.

GT3 RS with the clubsport pedals will cost me around 500 before shipping to my country, how does T500 compare to the GT3 RS?

Well, for one the Fanatec has belts and the G27 has helical gears. The former will provide smoother feedback all around but a bit louder noise if turning aggressively, while the latter has a more sharper feedback but it's quieter. The package you're considering also has a sequential stick, compatible with XBOX 360, & has load cell brakes, which the G27 doesn't have. As for the T500, it beats the Fanatec with its strong feedback and industrial pedals. However its stick is sold separate & isn't compatible with the 360, so keep in mind of that.

That Fanatec package for $500 is near the T500's $599 price tag. You do get the better CSP with Fanatec, but worse wheel imo. CSP are a LOT better than T500 pedals, and the T500 wheel/motor system is regarded as stronger of the Fanatec. So you do want better pedals or wheel? Personally I would go for the T500...the stronger/faster motors are what I love most about a package and the pedals can be modded, but you can't really increase motor strength. This is personal preference. You also don't get a stick with either one, but imo the stick isn't necessary as it's poorly functional in game.

If you can get the GT3/CSP or T500RS combos for similar cash then I can tell you from personal experience that the T500RS is the better wheel. If the CSR shifters are included then the benefit depends on how important H shifting is to you. The CSR shifters are however very plastic and have a loud clicking noise, but they are functional. The TH8RS shifter is much better but more expensive

Thanks for all the inputs!
So base on the steeling wheel itself I can assume that T500RS > GT3 RS > G27 ?
I've tried the Fanatec ClubSport Wheel at store and kind of liked it, my next question will be how does the ClubSport Wheel compare to the T500RS?

Clubsport wheel>T500RS > GT3 RS > G27

All these wheels are excellent, I would say the gap in jump between these wheels itself is very even. Get the one that gives you the best deal; the best value for the money.

I have a question about the Porsche GT3 Wheel: does it overheat and lose power? Because my G25 tend to lose some of its strength after a while as it gets very hot.

GT2, yes, but not GT3.

My understanding is that CSW vs T500 is a matter of taste and preferences rather than quality. Same probably goes for G27 vs GT3.

Some might, but I don't think that many would argue that the T500 or G27 pedals are as good as CSP or even CSR Elites. The package with the GT3 plus Elites is a very good one for the price. Going all the way to CSPV2, the pedals kind of deserve a CSW for the extra expense.

Definitely does. Removing the orange cover while in use can help to slow down the slow down though.

Set to go with the CSP and GT3 RS wheel, any fellas from the states willing to help forward Fanatec prodcuts to me?
For sure I will compensate for your time and effort, please send me a PM.

How can you be sure they won't walk off with your setup.
