The Redline GT is equipped with Logitech G27 driving controls, which have quickly become the player's choice for being the most advanced, top performing steering, shifting, and pedal controls in the industry. The forced feedback steering wheel provides the player with a real feel of the road as it responds to resistance of the tires on the track, bumps in the road, or a collision. The steering wheel is adjustable for the player's comfort with a telescoping steering wheel feature. The pedals can quickly be adjusted to move forward and back before locking into position. The six-speed shifter is always ready and positioned on the fixed platform. The flight controls easily pivot and lock into position from either the right or the left side depending on your preference. The Redline GT is equipped with a 5 channel 170W custom audio amplifier coupled with four speakers that are designed to immerse the player in a rich, vibrant audio experience. You'll feel the energy of the 100 W vibration transducer designed specifically to rattle the player physically, reproducing every nuance of the road. The easy access control allows you to dial in the volume and vibration setting to match your mood and need for speed. The Redline GT simulator will fit in anyone's home. It breaks down into three easily assembled components. It's only 32 in in width and fits through most standard doorways and is designed to fit around those basement stairwell turns. It assembles in no time so you can quickly be up and enjoying your game. The Redline GT is also equipped with a keyboard drawer that allows the player to conveniently access the keyboard and mouse for computer commands. There's also plenty of rear storage to accommodate your favorite games and peripherals. The Redline GT is proudly made in the USA by the premier manufacturer of coin operated games and cabinetry.
