Gavril D15

aren't you the guy that thought i was european

 

Just noticed a small mistake: the D15 V8 Crew Cab (the MY 98-03 blue one) has the Late Right Mirror (MY 98-03) on the right door but the Left Mirror (MY 92-97) on the left door.

Also, about the 4.5 and 5.5 SOHC V8s, I noticed that the 4.5 can get closer to or even exceed the amount of torque it produces based on its nominal displacement, which is 450Nm for 4.5 liters. Specifically, it produces:

- 422Nm with the Late Intake, Stock Long Block and V8 Exhaust
- 450Nm with the Race Intake, Stock Long Block and V8 Exhaust
- 459Nm with the Race Intake, Stock Long Block and V8 Exhaust Flanges/Side Pipes
- 468Nm with the Race Intake, Stock Long Block and no exhaust
- 478Nm with the Race Intake, the Stage 1 Performance Long Block and the V8 Exhaust Flanges/Side Pipes
- 488Nm with the Race Intake, the Stage 1 Performance Long Block and no exhaust.

In comparison, the 5.5 is a bit light on torque. It produces:

- 456Nm with the Late Intake, Stock Long Block and V8 Exhaust
- 484Nm with the Race Intake, Stock Long Block and V8 Exhaust
- 492Nm with the Race Intake, Stock Long Block and V8 Exhaust Flanges/Side Pipes
- 501Nm with the Race Intake, Stock Long Block and no exhaust
- 505Nm with the Race Intake, the Stage 1 Performance Long Block and the V8 Exhaust Flanges/Side Pipes
- 515Nm with the Race Intake, the Stage 1 Performance Long Block and no exhaust.

This tells me two things:
1) the 4.5 is the real workhorse of the 2 engines and
2) the 5.5 is more of a bored-out version of the 4.5 than a stroked-out one, so it's got thinner bore spacing between its cylinders than the 4.5.

 

The short frame is 30cm shorter than the regular frame - that's on par with the '80-'96 Ford Bronco (which was about 30cm shorter than the equivalent F-Series). That sort of difference wouldn't show up at the angle you show, and it's hard to tell side-by-side, but it is there.


Also, the extended short frame isn't meant to be a Suburban or Excursion - it's meant to be similar to the Centurion Broncos, which used F-Series crew-cab front ends and Bronco rear ends.

 

But I feel like they didn't bother to make it slightly shorter.

 

But they did though...

Back on topic: I never thought the SUV configs were supposed to be a Suburban-type vehicle. I just thought they were "truck, but seats."

 

Compared to many SWB/LWB versions of various vehicles, 30cm is a substantial cut in wheelbase/length. Some examples include:

-Fourth-gen Dodge Caravan: 2.88m/3.03m
-Second/third-gen VW Tiguan: 2.68m/2.79m
-Ferrari 250: 2.4m/2.6m
-Second-gen Genesis G90: 3.18m/3.37m
-Fourteenth-gen Toyota Crown: 2.85m/2.93m

30cm is also roughly the same difference in wheelbase that the second-gen K5 Blazer and '80-'96 Broncos had compared to their standard-cab/bed pickup counterparts:

-Blazer: 2.705m; Third-gen C/K: 2.984m
-Bronco: 2.642m to 2.66m; Seventh-ninth-gen F-Series: 2.967-2.972m

To be fair, the third-gen Bronco were about 40cm shorter than the seventh-gen F-Series (4.58m vs. 5m), but the eighth- and ninth-gen F-Series were 35cm longer than their Bronco counterparts (4.58m vs. 4.93m; 4.66m vs. 5m). The K5 Blazer also had a much smaller difference in length compared to the standard-cab/bed C/K - the former was 4.69m, while the latter was 4.86m.

That is essentially what they were meant to be IRL, too. I do hope that we get more from Kentarch in the future - they could be a really fascinating brand to expand upon.

 

Possibly we could get another one of Centurion's vehicles, like the Ford Centurion E350 Cabriolet (based on the H-Series in-game)?

 

There's a lot Kentarch could still get for the D-Series as well. Centurion had an extended crew cab, a bunch of their own trim levels with really cool period options we really should have in game, and I believe they offered a crew cab short bed before the OEM's were offering them. I'd also love to see a Kentarch based on the Revcon Trailblazer
