diesels have lots of torque because........... well they have to have something going for them

Aside from really low fuel consumption....

You took the thread down the 'what have the Romans ever done for us' direction.

Set them up and there's no way I'm not going to knock them down.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Had a MK4 TDi mapped and it made silly torque - LOVED IT
350z - hated the lack of torque and the whole petrol plague of having to rev the balls off of it. Got bored as a result.
Now the A4 with plenty of torque and I love every time I drive it :evil:
