This is the same context as a Prelude spraying NOS.
It's not so much a matter of how fast you go - it's more a matter of how you go fast.
I don't want to drive a diesel pickup, or Prelude, to go fast!
Go carts can go fast, too. Want to drive one?

RE: diesel truck almost walked from me!
I ran a Chevy diesel truck off the linea couple ofweeks ago. He had a ton of torque, at minimum he had a tune. He would have beat a stock automatic GT off the line, for sure. I don't think he was counting ona 5 speed with 4.10 gears, atune, UDP's CMCV deleteand a bunch of suspension goodies.Note that once he got going he did not have much, but I was surprised, as I looked in my rearview mirror, at how good he pulled off the line.

I could be wrong and probably completely stupid when it comes to this but isnt it true that diesel vehicles can make alot more power, one of the reasons being that they dont have to worry about octane or anything like that? Just tell me I'm stupid if I'm completely wrong haha.

I was driving along a four lane highway, and along comes this chevy diesel truck. He kept reving up and wanting to race. We were already rolling at about 65mph. He slowed down and then came at me wide open. I almost didn't pull away from him. I really need to get the 20" rims off and get some mods under the hood. I know diesel's are fast but, I need more Power![sm=icon_flaming.gif]
