Yes it is, make sure you get the Xbox Steering wheel also! I also got a little racing seat and bought a cheap 720p LCD tv.

The programming of vehicles in Forza is very detailed. With the XBOX steering wheel and pedals, and a proper setup, you can 'feel' a lot of the cars. Older 911s have lift-throttle oversteer, AWD cars understeer, you can feel the push/pull of the front tires giving in the force feedback of the wheel, etc. Pedal modulation and small steering corrections are very difficult and downright annoying with the regular controller. With this type of setup you can turn off all assists (although I keep ABS on because it is hard to modulate a little brake pedal with no sensation). I don't know how else you can easily simulate trying out a bunch of cars. I have virtually driven a 458 around Laguna Seca, a DB9R around Road Atlanta, my own version of a G-Power M6 down the Mulsanne Straight, etc. The possibilities are endless!!!

I set this up in a spare bedroom and still have to tie down the cables. The seat is manufactured by playseats.com and I can PM you a link as to where I bought it. The seat/frame/mounts are very nice, very sturdy, and you can thrash on them. With proper surround sound, volume up, you will almost be in the car.

I bought it... The Zonda is pure SEX on wheels. I really dig the RS6 as well - a good B class car.
