[quote name='Good2Go' post='314190' date='Jun 16 2009, 07:36 ']This rig is quite huge. In fact, I wonder if it will actually fit in the Engine bay at FS32! Really though, it looks much larger than the Dash Engines of late....

Nate if you compare the pictures 432 vs 401 what you might be seeing is an illusion that the Velocity is bigger due to the Preying Mantis like mirrors. When you do a rough eyeball measurement of the wheelbase, compartment size, and ladder rack hight they are very close. If you look at the first batch of Dash units to the last batch of Dash units you can notice small changes in the specs so it is possible that there are some small changes from the last batch of Dash units to the Velocity. If anything the Velocity is a wider chassis than the Dash by a few inches if I remember correctly. Tim would be the best to describe the real differences between Dash and Velocity.
