    Back on the topic a bit, I found this a good read when comparing power to torque :)

    meh... I have enough of a sence of humour to poke fun at my own cars on a daily basis, so i feel as though i can do so to others ;) it all lighthearted fun :D

    as for the origional argument.......

    I have two cars

    car no 1:
    Alfa 156 2.4 5cyl turbo diesel running somewhere around 200bhp
    0-60 mph just below 8 sec

    car no 2:
    Fiat Coupe 2.0 5cyl turbo petrol 220bhp
    0-60 mph 6.3 sec

    yes the diesel is quick, but like for like the petrol will always win

    Most likely, however diesel cheats, bigger engines, turbos etc! The cost of the vehicle is what puts it in whatever class and defines its competitors.
