Not specifically arcade related but why not?

    These were both motion rigs.

If you've got a full / real corvette - go outside and enjoy the damn thing.    :dizzy:

As for the 2DOF triple screen setup - looks nice, and very expensive.  :)

EDIT:  Thought I recognized that design from somewhere...   http://www.cxcsimulations.com/ (http://www.cxcsimulations.com/)

Triple screen setup pricing starts at $66,975 US dollars.      :lol  :lol  :lol    (HUGE markup on everything)

EDIT2:  One add on option for example, they're taking a ThrustMaster 'Warthog' HOTAS setup (~$500) out of the box, and mounting it for you for......$2,600

Well as far as real cars go.... We got to drive a brand new BMW M5. They let you take it around the block by yourself. That car is fast.

So for the price of the simulator, you can buy the car outright with no haggling.  Makes perfect business sense... if you are insane.

One thing about racing sim games that has always bugged me.  Most of them show you a steering wheel with hands on it...  even the ones that expect you to have a wheel.  So when you are playing, you are seeing TWO wheels and FOUR hands. 

Just annoying is all.

Dirt Rally gives you the option to visually remove the hands and wheel from the screen if you want. 

I think Project Cars does too.  Can't remember.

Most do.  I think the idea is you can see how 1 to 1 the steering response is or something.  Myself I never understood it.
