DFGT vs G25 spin speed

[CoolColJ]

Does anyone have both a DFGT and G25?
Anyway I wanted to know if the spin speed of G25 is faster than the DFGT?

I have a DFGT now, and love it, but the pedals are not great, so I'm thinking about picking up a G25 2nd hand, especially if it spins faster

the G25 is a lot faster than the DF though, but the DFGT is different off course

The DFGT is WAY faster than the DFP, so don't worry there.

I've never hooked my G25 and DFGT up next to each other, so I'm not certain. But to me the DFGT feels slightly slower than the G25, both when spinning up and when you are trying to turn it fast and come up against the speed with which the motor lets it turn.

In GT5P there's a button "power steering" which seems to make the DFGT easier to turn, and as long as I have that in place I don't ever find myself fighting the DFGT. Is the G25 better? Yes, but not so much with regard to spin speed, more with regard to the awesome pedals.

You seem to be confused between the wheel's calibrating speed, and the speed that you can move it. The speed they calibrate at doesn't mean that one wheel can be turned faster than the other. Both wheels can be turned by hand at the exactly the same speed.

But is this actually true? I find that I can turn my DFGT fast enough that I feel the motor working against me, whereas that is harder to do with my G25. And the power steering setting in GT5P seems to help spinning the DFGT faster but does nothing (as far as I can tell) with the G25.

Likewise if you are drifting, the DFGT spins the wheel somewhat slower than the G25 as you throw the car into the drift, making it slightly harder to use (only slightly though). Again, a comparable difference to their calibration spin speed.

So while calibration speed doesn't necessarily equate to the speed of the motor in play (or against which you are attempting to spin the wheel), there seems to me to be a correlation....

I've been to LANs where I've used G25, DFGT, DFP one after the other. I don't really notice any difference in the speed of steering, but then, I am the antithesis of drift, so maybe not the best person to spot differences...

I always thought the biggest difference between wheels was not how fast you can turn the wheel, but how fast it can turn itself, e.g. when releasing the wheel when exiting a corner?

I would think the main differences are the FFB motor strenght and its smoothness, which are in turn affected by the diameter of the wheel itself. I've never had a chance to use a G25, only a DFP and DFGT and you can clearly see and feel the difference of their FFB motors, the DFGT's is smoother. When doing abrupt turns on the DFP sometimes it feels like you might damage it whereas the DFGT's feels sturdier.
