Hey Guys & Jessica,Awesome Review of the "Thrustmaster T500RS"..[been waiting for some time to see what the "ISR" Crew Thought of this Baby],and after watching the review,I have to say..WOW! this wheel seems to be THE wheel for "GT5" and
Im pretty sure it's going to be right on the money for the upcoming releases of Codemasters "DIRT 3" & "NFS SHIFT 2",I have to tell you while I was watching you guys review this wheel,
it looked to me like it pretty much had become the entire crews Favorite overall wheel..[am I wrong?]..anyway after seeing how awesome this wheel is,Ive got a big problem..Ive been saving for a Logitech "G27" & a set of "Club Sport Pedals"[currently using a logitech "DFGT"<which I honestly DO love..gr8 wheel for the price!] but as Darin always says,Im looking to "take it to the next level"..hehewink,..but now Im leaning more towards the "Thrustmaster T500RS"..my only concern is the Shifter! do you guys have any Idea when Thrustmaster plans on releasing the shifter? and the price range?..I realize that in the review you guys did not have this info,but thought maybe since the review you guys might have some inside information about thiswink..so what do you guys think eh? should I go for the "Logitech G27 & Club sports, or the thrustmaster T500RS and hope for the best as far as the shifter goes? any advise would be greatly Appreciated, since I have the upmost respect for both Darins & Shaun's Opinions, thanks a lot guys~and as always "ISR" ROCKS!

Hi Guys,
Firstly,you guys have become an important part of my sim racing world.
Your reviews,I must say,are helpful most of the time.
Keep up the good work.
I do have a couple of questions vis-a-vis the Thrustmaster T500RS.
Recently I built an F1 cockpit (monocoque),to make the effort worth it,
it would be befitting to use a very a good quality wheel with a reasonable amount of FFB.
The questions:
1. It is possible to remove the gear levers from the base of this ''monster''? Why? I basically don´t need the wheel and gear levers.
I want to mount an F1 steering wheel on the base.Don´t like the
idea of the stationary gear levers.
2. If you had to compare the Thrustmaster T500RS to the G27 Mod E
from Arc_Team,which would you say was better?
Thanks guys.Jessie,the last thing I think about when you present the shows is racing.And that aint funny!
