    Well, I don't have one either. BUT - I made a very interesting observation yesterday.
    I have GTR2 from SimBim games (www.simbim.com - I paid $10 for the game at Best Buy).
    I have been playing it non-stop over the weekend, with a Logitech MOMO Force steering
    wheel and pedals ($99). The car I'm simulating is the 360 Modena, mostly just on the Monza track
    (best time so far only 2:02.9 - not exactly pole position! - Pole at the GP last weekend (Vettel)
    I recall was around 1:24 or so - in a 360 pole would be around 1:35 or so).
    I'm setup for 'full simulation' with no assists, and full force effects on the wheel.

    So yesterday I went for a spirited drive in my 328, and found that the 360 simulation SOUNDS
    and FEELS astoundingly just like my 328! Yes, much less HP, acceleration and top gear action.
    But the sound and feel - it's amazing how realistic it is compared to the real thing. Even
    the steering force and road effects are very close. But the SOUND! VERY close to real.
    Ok - you'll have to paddle shift & it's a 6-speed... But hey - can't have everything :)

    So if you want to play with something pretty dang close to your REAL 3x8, try the 360
    Modena in GTR2 - you'll be amazed at how real it actually seems.

    Just wanted to share this with others who crave having their own car in a game!
