I don't believe it, the diesel must have more torque than the petrol. Most petrol heads don’t like to admit that the diesel is faster 0-60 and gets better mileage and the engine is going to last longer.
No competition they just don’t like It up them
I kid you not, I did win. Plus its not just about the torque. It depends on many other factors too, not least of which is how you drive etc. Plus, lets face it, not every car of the production line delivers 150bhp, I would say its probably +/- about 10 to 15% on that.
