Sim racing · head‑to‑head
Choosing between these two heavy-duty aluminum cockpits comes down to whether you prefer saving money at the risk of a logistical nightmare, or paying a premium for a highly adjustable but sometimes frustratingly designed ecosystem. While both deliver outstanding structural rigidity, their real-world ownership experiences could not be more different.
The 6S-120 V2 Sim Racing Chassis is plagued by severe logistics issues, with buyers frequently reporting incomplete shipments, scratched parts, and terrible customer service. If you choose this rig, prepare for the possibility of your seat or accessories arriving weeks after the main frame.
The Next Level Racing F-GT Elite 160 Cockpit features tall, angled wheel uprights that can easily block your monitors. Additionally, adjusting the wheel position can inadvertently alter your pedal deck alignment due to linked support arms.
If you are on a budget and have the patience to deal with potential shipping delays and missing parts, the 6S-120 V2 Sim Racing Chassis offers incredible structural value. However, for a hassle-free premium build with direct motion compatibility, the Next Level Racing F-GT Elite 160 Cockpit is the safer investment despite its high price and minor design quirks.
