Btw, how realistic is the clutch on these things? Is it remotely close to driving a real car (ie, it stalls out if you don't do it right)? If it's not too bad, maybe my gf can practice driving a stick on this before she graduates to the real car, ha.
I haven't tried the clutch but I do notice that the H-shifter is a bit loud and clunky. I haven't used it at all so maybe it takes some time to work it on. Fanatec is making a Clubsport Shifter that is quieter and a bit better. I think I might get those or the Clubsport pedals later on.

Last night my girlfriend took the wheel for a spin. Unfortunately I was using a Wal-Mart TV tray stand and she couldn't reach the pedals so I had to move the tray legs a part a bit so the pedals would fit between. Anyways, half way through the lap the tray snapped in half so now I don't have a stand! And to top it all of Fanatec emailed me on Friday saying that they think USPS has lost my order!!
