Thinking about doing this in the 996 >>

I have seen it in a 993 and I like it. Given that my car is silver with a black interior, I bet it would look sweet.

993 Rennsport wheel

Would Suncoast have a better price on this? And...does anybody have the part number?

"This 3-spoke steering wheel does not have an airbag. "

I realize this. An airbag is not needed IMO. Besides, I will be tracking this car.

I would stay with a wheel with an airbag.

I would think a car at the track would be more of a reason to have an airbag. but to each his own.

other then that. decent looking steering wheel.

That would be a no for me. With harnesses and a rollbar (coming) the combination of an airbag and a fullface helmet is not my preferred way to play. My personal preference may not be everyone else's. Please keep this in mind, I have been playing on the track for quite a while. This is my preference.

Besides, there's something about having an explosive device pointed at my head.
