the gasser has much, much better, quicker throttle response. I like that.
If that makes u happy so be it but let me tell you the superior construction,handling, air ride suspension ,engine Brake, overall larger size of a diesel pusher and super quite interior even under acceleration far far far exceeds the one small inconsequential factor of your so called throttle response !! and on a steep loaded mountain climb my 40 ft 450HP ISL will kill your crappy little ford 320HP ford system and I can clearly hear the radio on low volumn LOL
No need to get all 'testy' and boastful.
I don't disagree with any of that (except the last sentence...My Ford has 362 horsepower, not 320, haha).
However, none of what you boasted about there is what the original poster asked about, is it? Original poster specifically asked if diesels were more sluggish, and I specifically answered that question. That's all. :)
