Cockpit + Wheelstand - $300

[RAYzRAYz]

Hi GTP,

I looked through the masterlist for a decent and affordable simulator seat and mount for a G27.
my price range is in the ~$300-350 range.

From the master list, I found three that fall in my price range..

Please let me know if there are other options I did not find. I ignored the seats with the bar between the legs, I brake with my left feet, and I heard those bars will get in the way, (ex. playseats).

#1 ~$300 with shipping and tax

#2 ~$350 with shipping and tax

#3 ~400 with shipping and tax

Can anyone give me input? Pros/Cons for each one? I am concerned with #2, the seat looks like it is declined with thighs facing up. #3 I am concerned with the non-adjustable seat. #1 pricing is good.

What do you guys think? Thanks!!

Check out the Obutto oZone for 354.99 from Main Performance PC... that doesn't include shipping, but it does include the shifter, keyboard and monitor stands as well as forward/back sliding seat with tilt. It's built like a tank and comfortable. I'm probably a little biased since I use one.

Of the 3 you listed I like the CNT, it has a decent looking seat and a shifter mount included. There is also a GT Planet offer on it that might save you a few extra bucks... https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...-special-pricing-for-gtplanet-members.267620/

The Fanatec seat is basically like a lawn chair, but I have heard you can make it more comfy with foam. I hear it's also kind of a puzzle to assemble and adjust but it's quite compact. The RR1000 looks funky and the fake car seat on it looks kinda sketchy, the RR2000 looks way better but is another $120. Plus you need to add on the shifter mount and the stabilizer bars and all the add ons are kinda expensive!

Let us know what you end up with.

Wow that obutto seat looks really good. After shipping and handling it come out to be ~$440 dollars.

I ended up ordering a CNT, good price for shifter + reclinable seat, it was ~200 on sale, but after shipping and handling and tax it was ~$290.

I think I will try to upgrade to the Obutto oZone in the future... mayb when GT7 comes out.. it looks really good, I love the keyboard tray and work station, other similar ones are 500-600+. Thanks for the suggestion. If I don't like the CNT, i will definitely get that one! (I hope they still sell it in the futre)

When I ordered it yesterday, it had 2 left. Guess the stock is gone now. Shipping was $80 though...

Try here.

Can't really give a good verdict on them as I am still waiting for my wheel to arrive.

$156 is a pretty nice deal.
