[QUOTE="turbology, post: 380354, member: 10223"] I fully disagree. With newer technology, we are able to utilize diesel alot better. To name a few: -8 gears fast-shifting automatic transmission to maximise the power band of diesel between 2-5k rpm, and better gear ratio. -Direct diesel injection to reduce noise from knock. (Diesel engine knock naturally) -Faster car computer electronic for better ignition and emission control. New diesel engine can surpass the strictest emmision control in Europe while Gasoline still having a tough time to meet the requirement. Despite diesel have more BTU per unit than gasoline (aka petrol) which give better fuel consumption, it is still distance away as "performance fuel". Audi did a great job in the LeMans 24 with their turbo diesel engine, but that is to proof the diesel is equal, or better fuel efficient & reliability. Not more powerful. Telling me "torque is the main factor that determine acceleration times" is just kids talk. If you haven't already know, HP = torque x RPM / 5252, which [COLOR="Red"]indirectly[/COLOR], HP IS EQUAL TO TORQUE. The different is RPM. And diesel engine just cannot rev. If I want a fuel efficient, quiet, good for environment, haul 5 persons in a car with full luagage in the rear & long distance cruiser, I would get a diesel. For anything else, I prefer a 8000rpm happy gasoline engine. p/s: How about a diesel car in Gymkhana ? high "acceleration" wat... :D :D Peace :) [/QUOTE]
