PROS

The GT Omega PRIME Cockpit is constructed from extruded aluminum, giving it both strength and flexibility. Its modular design allows it to accommodate future upgrades and enhancements, and it can be adjusted to suit drivers of various sizes, ensuring an excellent fit for everyone.
The use of high-quality materials, like thick extruded aluminum and steel, ensure the cockpit's durability and stability. This means it can withstand the rigors of intense gaming sessions without compromising its structure.

CONS

Although the cockpit is highly adjustable, aligning all the components can be quite challenging. It requires significant effort to move the upright profiles, and getting everything to the right level can be difficult, especially if you're doing it alone.
The aluminum frame can get scratched if not handled properly during the adjustment or movement process. You need to ensure that the bolts are loosened enough to prevent the frame from getting scratched when you move other parts against it.

The extruded and CNC-machined aluminum casing serves as both the structural chassis and the heatsink, allowing for this high level of torque to be maintained without the need for active cooling.
