Topic	Is a 2 litre diesel gonna give good performance on a sports car?
Kyuubi4269 04/17/17 10:12:21 PM #16:	MaverickXeo posted... There are some (VERY FEW) drag racing cars that are diesels that annihilate gas engines. That's because steel blocks are ideal for tanking extremely high forces, however the car needs 3 turbos and an inordinate amount of spool up to get the airflow necessary to compete with moderately modified 2JZs. Petrol cars can run on ethanol to get good octane and run a single turbo to boost enough to take advantage of it, they also get to keep spark plugs so don't require complete reengineering to push a few more HP out of it. --- RIP_Supa posted...
